Wow. I head out of town for four days and my suggestions are not only considered, but mostly implemented. I feel disproportionally proud. 🙂

Thanks to **Dex** , **xash** , and the other Mods and Admins for open and flexible. And to all you Dopers who expressed their support!

I think the change will be helpful to Guests and Newbies.

Sheesh.

Make that “_being_ open and flexible”.

Apparently, being away from a keyboard for a few days has an effect.

Since it’s Tuesday, and also since I just noticed this, let me say that I’ve been keeping a formatted, categorized, and annotated list of the “User-contributed reference sites” (as **alterego** entitles it) that were posted in the GQ sticky. If’n you want the stickies stuck together, perhaps that would be useful.
