Thank-you so much for taking the time to reply. It hardly needs to be said how important your perspective is.

Anyway, feel free to join the long line of people who have promised to rewrite or re-invent the site or whatever,

I don't believe I have any grand ideas about how to rewrite or re-invent the site. There is a long distance between wanting to understand more and having a genuine vision of a way forward. More importantly, any idea with staying power would have to come from the community and not from one individual. Even if one person speaks the idea, it only resounds if that person is merely putting into words the well-formed or even half-formed thoughts of many others.

So for now, I hope you will be ok with my taking on the role of the questioner and learner.

Best, beth
