I find your comments a little over the top and naive.
Yes, TU crashed and a few months posts were lost. This occurance was inconvenient, but did not slow the learning curve for me.
As for the running of the site, I cannot imagine that it runs itself. If I found myself running a FREE members site with 10,000 members, I may have to prioritise the PM's, but with the ultimate aim of replying to every query.
Personally, I have only had good service from the administration of TU.
Yes the site crashed back in Dec. more accurately, Our host skipped the country, along with our server.
You should appreciate the work that went on to bring the site back to a usable state given the fact that it's freely available & dont cost you a penny.
Your only PM to me mentions you waiting to see the missing photos in the tutorial section. The authors of those tutorials were kind enough to resend me those photographs & I'm thankful.
However I need some time to republish them as I have other responsibilities beyond this site, I run a full time woodworking business and support a wife & 4 children.
If I'm not moving fast enough for you, sorry, call my boss.
moving on.
Hey Jerry, well said and well done. I don't show my face all that much here like I would like to but like you I have other commitments. I have been with you from the start. If there is ever anything I can do to help you out just ask and If there is anyway I can help I will. Thanks for a great job and keep up the good work. OBTW your boss said your doing a good job also.

The join date is showing as Feb. '07. Might not be talking about the recent crash but some other connection problem he/she had? Just trying to give benefit of doubt.
I echo the sentiments about the site. Can't complain if it goes down for years if you're not paying. Thanks Jerry and all who maintain.
