Gaucho100K, I respect your opinion, but is it not true that Randy is providing a free service here and does not owe anyone here any style of management? Many of us feel like we "own" a bit of this site because it derives its value to a large extent from the contributions of the members. However, the site is fully financed and managed by Randy, and the truth is, Randy does not owe anyone anything. If Randy decides to run this place in a manner you describe as "seagull management", then so be it, no? Randy seems to not mind it when people criticize that, but I think we should always remember that he is still providing a free service and we are all just guests. If I am a guest at a party and the owner of the place decides not to interfere when two other guests have an argument, I can have my opinion about that, I might criticize it in a polite way, I can leave, but I think I have no right to demand anything from the owner of the place. Please do not get upset, I am posting this not to incite anything, but just to provide the perspective of someone who knows other people who have run similar sites and who has been involved in running free internet sites myself.
And CameraGuy, I find your assertion which sounds like "Randy is bribed by ozstamps and therefore does not take action against him" indeed quite bold.
