Speaking as a propeller head who’s been both a software developer in a past life, and in the Web biz for nearly 10 years, I can attest to the difficulty of keeping stuff like this working properly.

Yup, I’ve had problems here and there too, such as posting replies and getting naughty, uncooperative links, etc. But, OTOH, especially as a karting rookie in the area, I find this forum to be just fantastic, and absolutely invaluable.

I hope folks will remember that this thing is a big complex piece of software, with many moving parts, running on a computer itself with many moving parts, so to speak, that we talk to over a very complex network. In my 20 or so years around these infernal machines I’m still amazed this stuff works at all!

And, in that time I’ve never met one that DIDN’T have the occasional issue, some of which are very difficult to debug (often infuriatingly so, and I can attest to the fact that it’s not an infrequent occurance that the debugging process can eat up *enormous amounts of time).

I understand Angie does this all for free. FWIW, in my book, I don’t think we could ask for more.
