parnel, are you saying that we should be easy on AC just because others have screwed up just as bad or worse?

I don't know about the other messups that you mention, but all I can say is that the "perception" isn't good with the release of the new website, despite what I'm pretty sure are the hard efforts of those who released it. I'm sure they had their reasons for releasing it when they did and perhaps not catching all the bugs, but it sure doesn't make them look good...
