Where and how?

We'd love to hear specifics that can be acted on.

There is an ownership/management team that tries to guide the forum. I'm one of the members.

But we prefer self-management -- the members taking ownership and talking to each other about how to make a more useful forum.

So don't hesitate.

Reduce the font size and eliminate every second word. Simple.

:lol: Brevity is indeed the soul of wisdom, but at the risk of reducing information to get rid of the noise. Binary compression really only works for ... for ... for ... reiterable machine processes?

Shouldn't Gummy Stuff be on the main page?
