    I don't know if it is good discussion, but I wish to express my appreciation for those who make this site possible, and for the varied and interesting content that gets submitted and posted, both in the articles and journals.

    I am extremely grateful that there are people who are doing their best to ensure that the seamier side of human psychology, as expressed often on the Internet, is kept in reasonable check here. The curators are doing a fine job.

    I also appreciate very much the continued decision to not use javascript while producing an effective and efficient site. Congratulations are still in order for this fine example of how things can be done. I am half tempted to start learning perl with the aim of being able to help maintain rehash and the site...but that project will have to wait until my time and finances are on a more stable footing.

    On the topic of running the site, even though we have IRC, I would suggest that a possible banner headline to be enabled if the site has problems simply saying 'We know the site has performance//data integrity issues, and they are being investigated - article and thread/comments here -> [link]'. At present, it is a bit of a random walk, looking at IRC, journals, and off-topic comments on current articles to find an acknowledgement of problems and current status. Obviously solving the problems comes first. Note, this is a suggestion, not a demand, and I might not be aware of very good reasons why this cannot be done.

    Thank you all, again. You are appreciated.

    Thank you. Despite my failings I am trying to keep it a site on which people can hold discussions on almost any topic without the interruptions of a handful of idiots.

      Says the person that allows factually incorrect idiotic commentary any real nerd would blast out. Can't forget your need to make snarky off topic commentary to flagged comments instead of leaving them alone to be the least disruptive. Then blaming others when your falsehoods are called out. Seriously doc, heal thyself. You are lucky to have a userbase tired of this nonsense and siding with you despite the numerous gaping holes poked in your defense for your abuse and rule breaking. I guess it is ok when The Right People do it eh?
