Good post, Ty. (Gee, I wish they could overcome the hacker issue and bring back the Thank You button. I could say "T.Y, Ty" that way.)
Anyway, I wanted to highlight this point. It is RARE (in my experience, at least) that developers are this connected to their community. To their benefit as well as ours! I have been other places where the devs disappear for long periods of time, come back momentarily and act as if they've never been gone and what's your problem, and then disappear again.
On the other hand, OOTPD has always, always been a pleasure in this regard. One badge of noobidity around here is complaining about not getting an answer within a few hours. Elsewhere, try a year later, if you're lucky! Sure, I have asked a question or two or made a comment that was not responded to, but for the important stuff (there's significance in numbers), they are here for us. I have to think that a large measure of their success is due to this alone.
