Madhu,
I'm not sure how to rate your vote on this one.
One line you say I approve it in concept .. but then you provide two
paragraphs worth of changes that you would like to make to it.
A lot of your original changes/suggestions were taken into consideration
from comments on thesite.
So, what is it you are saying? I don't understand how you can be a "+1" if
you don't like what's there.
Are you a +1 but only if your changes are taken into account?
Or
Are you a -1 to what's there now. ?
Do we need to break this down and vote on each individual piece of
information??
Thanks,
Michele

Logging

| I feel the only stats that should remain are:
|
| User since
| Articles written
|
| and *maybe* "average rating", but Adrian has pointed out earlier on
thesite

reading
| his or her other articles. I agree with that view.
