What can I say. You're right Michel. I missed it. While I was never even remotely close to being one of those who considered dropping my membership, I certainly did not like the idea of if.

Having read that announcement now, I will reverse my stand, and start using the system, I hope, to the advantage of others like Tracy and Sylvain who appear to be using it more properly.

Thanks for clearing this up for me Michel.

>>Once upon a time I seem to recall listings being posted of who got how many points. I can't locate that on the system now; so maybe the thing has changed. If the point system is no longer used that way, then I will humbly backtrack and agree that maybe it is worth using. My problem with it was that when it started up, it's purpose seemed to be that of creating a 'competition' which [I thought] served to denigrate the volunteer nature of the system that already existed.

>>If those lists are truly gone, then I will bow to your and Sylvain's concept of how they should be used as agreeable and useful.
