So you're saying that the "like button" then called an "informative button" and now called a "site-wide reader feedback button." which you've been pushing is now something you're back-peddling on?

Now as to the "inside information"-you are the one who used that phrase and afaic, when someone uses that phrase, they are privvy to something that others are not and that doesn't come across as being up front and honest-it's really that simple. Whether it was not meant to be presented that way is another story but that's how it comes across to me

And as to not giving answers and "not understanding why you would expect me or anyone to present a fully specified list of features and functionality when the whole point of this thread is to find the most useful set of features and functionality and then discuss whether or not we want to move forward to a trial of some sort."- Isn't it the job of someone proposing something to have answers in hand. I'm not saying to have all the answers to all the issues & questions but at least have the basic abc's as that imho is the job of the presenter and not the job of the audience to be doing the presenter's homework
