>If you mean I'm impatient with critiques of my motives for participating here, you bet, even more so since I'm now paying for the privilege of answering questions, and losing the support of some of the most valuable members of the MVP program here on UT because of the loss of PUTM privileges for the MVPs. JVP's input on things he knows far better than I do will be sorely missed here, regardless of what his attitude may have done to upset people.

Have others (besides JVP) expressed intentions to leave because of the new policy? And, as an aside, I don't think JVP left because of a policy change, but rather because of run ins with other personalities. I will miss JVP's technical input as well, but I know where to find it if I need it. I will not miss the ugly battles that he seems to be the constant in, so my feelings at his departure are mixed indeed.
