Danny,

we C&V'ers are set in our ways. Change is bad, steel frames and lugs are good. Seriously though, after seeing the new stickies in action, even ignoring the posts complaining about some of them, I wasn't happy either. And I very highly respect the opinions and feedback of many people who had expressed their dissatisfaction with the changes. As a mod, I am here to moderate, not be a ruler. We try to make the forums run smoothly for as many people as possible without causing disruption for others. Lotek and I agree, and I'm sure you all will to, that you can never satisfy everyone so you have to spread out the dissatisfaction equally some times. The benefit we got from combining a few stickies wasn't enough for the cost that came with it to the quality of the forum, in my opinion. Which is why I contacted lotek and offered to post these polls, and eventually redo our stickies again. Many of the stickies we do have are great threads that lots of people participate in, most don't go more than a day without being posted in. And get a ton of views too. So, I guess, in the end, for most people, 11 stickies is not too many. And if 11 is too many for them, then so is 2 in most likelyhood. Since there is no middle ground, at least in this case, I'm all for letting majority rule.

p.s. - at least ya'll are easier to reason with than the Road Cycling bunch! Think I'll stick to C&V again for a while.
