Of course it's not the tight community that it used to be.  Still when 
people want help they should not be faced with an alphabet soup that the 
senior members don't pay attention to anyway.  Just imagine what the US 
Constitution would look like if its size had grown in proportion to the 
population of the country.  We've only been at it for five years.  What 
will Wikipedia rules look like in the year 2230? :-)
