Hi, Jasper

You did an amazing amount of difficult work. On that point, congratulations.

I hesitate in pointing this out but I need to. The whole point of RAT is sharing knowledge and external sources to help members. Also, we had a way of "thanking" each other for this sharing. To me, the "Thank You" system was, in essence, a record of a member's "worth." A member could accumulate 4,000 or 5,000 posts, reaching higher in rank, but he or she could do this by posting short, ineffectual, and sometimes dumb, comments. In essence, the posts often had little value, and that person accumulated very few "Thank Yous." At the other extreme, a member could write fewer posts, essentially informational and helpful, and receive a higher number of "Thank Yous."

In this new format, the "Thank Yous" are gone. (I also got demoted, and I'll not live long enough to accumulate the higher number of posts needed to reach my old rank. As is, with the loss of deserved "Thank Yous," plus the elimination of "Current Topics" (a longer and easier page than "Today's"), I feel that I'm too old a fart to butt my head against the cyber-wall.

Very Sincerely,
Alanus
