Thanks Elle, and ditto Vic - I posted something similar to this on another thread, and wanted to repeat it here too:
I don't know if ya'll have any idea what a huge increase in the amount of time and attention and resources our presence at BetterMost.net has created for Phillip, and he's responding with flexibility and consideration and careful thought about what will work best. He's getting messages and e-mails and posts non-stop with inquiries and suggestions and ideas for modification...and he's handling it all with amazing grace and the same generosity that he extended last week.
If you look at the CT stats, we've posted hundreds (thousands) of messages already, and that's just since Thursday. In additional to providing any support that anyone needs and personally addressing registration issues, he's putting new technologies into place to make sure it stays troll-free, enhancing the radio selections, and changing the site as we have requested to address our particular concerns.
He knows all about the troll issues we've had, and didn't hesitate for a minute to invite us here, even knowing that they could follow. He was happy just to have us use and benefit from this site.
So - I say let's give him and all of us a chance to settle in and see what works and what doesn't, and give him the time to figure it all out without us pressuring him. We've been here just a few days, and it's gonna take a while, which seems more than fair to me.
Deep breath - another deep breath - and one more...
