    Hey, I've been meaning to ask but I don't think there's a PM function; how much destruction did you suffer from that storm?

      Several trees down, one of which hit the corner of the house, so a bit of damage there. Insurance will pay. Thanks for asking.

      However, its nothing like the stress of being an editor for SN! We are 'editors' - we edit others' submissions. If the subjects that the community want are not the ones being submitted by someone else, I can see a very simple solution. But, apparently, not everyone else in the community can. Nearly 4000 members and only a very small proportion have submitted a story. And if someone wants me to step down, all they have to do is step up. :)

        I like it here. I think you guys (gender neutral Midwest term) are at least on par with slashdot and I figure you're at the beginning of the learning curve. Pretty exciting actually. Well not everything is perfect, perfect is the enemy of the good and this is pretty darn good.

        Yeah, guilty as charged. I'm not great at submitting stories, but I try to mod when I can. I also try to comment when I think I have something useful or witty to add. Unfortunately, that isn't very often. I simply try to contribute where my talents allow me.

        Anyone who expects perfection from you guys doesn't understand how hard your job is... and doesn't understand people in general. I can accept mistakes and missteps especially when the overall stuff is decent quality. I just don't accept stupidity (aka, Beta).

        Keep experimenting and keep up the good work.
