I missed the issue which led to GtE's removal and generated this uproar.
I am not normally one for 'Mod' bashing and have been around this forum on and off since the original Compuserve days started by Danny.
Surely the amount of comment being expressed here (and elsewhere) is significant enough for the Mods to issue some sort of statement? Even if its a bland no comment with little information in it I think that the feelings of many users of this site deserve to be acknowleged by the site operator.
If this was a customer service business the total lack of response by the 'management' would have done serious damage to its credibility.
