I was trying to say that if you(Bob) do not have enuf time to properly care for babble, then you should turn the administration of this site to someone else who is more available to be more CONSISTANT.> > 3. We hear about proposed changes in procedures and rules , not because they are being offered for our consideration, but because a particular deputy finds them unacceptable. No organization would survive very long using indirect tactics like this.

> I'm sorry you and others didn't feel cared for or treated respectfully. But at the same time, I think lots of organizations discuss proposed changes first among a few people and only later more widely.*This is NOT lotsa organizations, this is BABBLE, and its an open forum so its its hard when the admin is so not keeping us in the loop. Cuz we used to being in the loop bout most of each others stuff here.

> I understand those concerns, too. But I think there would still be plenty of anger directed at us, since we'd still be the ones actually posting the PBC or doing the blocking. And we've had the notification button for a while already, has it been an issue yet whether a PBC or block has resulted from someone using it?*I have FAITH in fairness of deps!
