It basically read "we're going to shake things up, but don't have specifics right now." That doesn't build confidence, especially if there is some rough history here (I don't know the backstory). It would have been best to post the list and patch at the start, not defensively in response to criticism. Also, you suddenly getting involved probably didn't help, because it just gave the appearance that you guys were trying to double-team Doug. -- Rob Farmer
