    Approx 3-4,000 active users on here, a percentage of them (those who voted for you on your recent poll) is a very small amount by comparison surely you would agree?...another quantifiable amount.
    Youbare just not reaching the greater target.
    Do you understand the concept of planting a seed Mark?

    I would hazard a guess that not only has it germinated, but its taken root already, Mark.

    and when a seed doesn't germinate you have a few options, try a different strain of seed which may be suited to the prevailing conditions, change the prevailing conditions to suit the seed you are trying to germinate or abandon the seed altogether and try dairy farming

    thing is if no one here, or only a few, pays any heed try a different audience, as opposed to a blanket generalisation try to choose an audience and test your seed theory out on them.. stop wasting your time on the wrong people..

    the most successful companies are assisted in being started by people who don't care what the company does, but see the genius in the person trying to start it up.. find your venture capitalist and you will get your opinion heard far and wide, seems like the current people you are pitching your ideas to are not the right ones

    1. Did the 5 May ride ever happen?

    2. If yes, how many people went?

    Maybe we should ask sanitation if they can measure your output?

    There is a seed in there? Stop constantly tilling the ground and try less fertiliser. Breaking and burning the roots don't help.

    Me either mate, in fact I have hurt myself and cost ACC much money doing simple things like walking on my deck and opening pickle jars.

    No it was canned. Sadly I posted my thoughts prior to the announcement. I should not have done that apparently.

    Good idea, bad planning, terrible day/time to choose, poor target to aim for = no support = cancellation.

    As I understand it you can't. This is just one of the many things about the way ACC is implemented that is just plain wrong.
