That could be it, although it makes it seem like he didn't really think too much outside of his own box when it came to figuring out how to design the site, since I think part of the reason why LJ has lasted this long is that it does serve multiple different uses. Plus the Russian users aren't crazy about the changes either but he seems to be completely ignoring them. =\ Just...meh.

I definitely agree with what you said about DW. Honestly the comment changes didn't upset me THAT much, it was the way they were handled. I feel much more comfortable here when I know what's going on.

And no problem! I have a tendency to go on and on about things too when I'm really interested in them. XD
