At least to paraphrase Steve Winwood. My move to the country is done, all though some unpacking is still left. However, I now have high speed, full time, internet access again. Yeah!
The downside is now I have much less time to spend on the internet. I really miss / hate that.
Ok, back to tv.com. I feel a little better about things, but only a little. TC’s (Top Contributors [there are still no real Editors here {except maybe the Mods}]) still can’t do much, even if they have a Q (as I call the queue). TC’s can’t control their forums! That’s stupid. TC’s can’t add / delete News here! That’s real stupid, as the News items here are a pathetic joke laughed at by all! TC’s with less than 80 points are powerless to edit guides they should be editing (in the limited way set here). Really, really stupid… stupid!!!
Lets see, the PTB dumped months of submittals on TC’s with new Q’s, but then gave them two weeks (or less) to work on them. This may have been a bug, but close to 100 submittals disappeared from my Q. Once with only four day max old submittals and the second time with five day max old submittals. Yes, I should have done better, but at least I wasn’t NEAR AS BAD as tv.com has been with submittals. Plus, I ACTUALLY work hard to verify accuracy of the submissions I receive, unlike tv.com. Yes, I got a lot of points here after I got a Q, in fixing the submissions and changes made by the staff on my guides. Ouch!
The changes made here at tv.com and my meteoric rise in level (don’t ask me how I did that) have kept me here this far. I hope to see more changes made to fix the poor set up here, as described above, but I am more hopeful now. I do really feel the loss of the really great contributors from tvt that have decided not to join tv.com. I very nearly was one of the missing too (although, I might not have been missed).
My next blog will be a shout out to my friends here. I was going to include it here, but I quickly realized it would be WAY TO BIG! That’s good, right?

Grailwolf – I agree your right ( 
). I can’t think of any post where you’ve been wrong or even a little off on any post I’ve read of yours (here or at tvt). Plus, there have been several (many) of your posts that have caused me to change my personal opinion on a subject, once you opined on that subject. So, thanks for commenting here.

Okay, see, now that's not fair. My ego and my humility just ganged up on me and now I'm stuck in total vapor lock.
Thanks, man, most appreciated. Especially considering the source.

Ross, I agree with you (for others, I’ve known Ross for a long time). I’m about 20 points short of being the TC of “Banacek” (which I edited at tvt). Yes, I once again say there are no Editors here at tv.com. I’ve submitted stuff at “Banacek” to raise my level to 80, but a month later I’m still waiting.

Needless to say, I agree with everything you've said above. This whole thing has been a mess. Now, if they'd just given us actual editing powers and given us back our guides as they said in the beginning, then we would never have had the massive submission gridlock in the first place.
Man, I hate being right sometimes.
Still, as you pointed out, things are getting better. We'll just have to see how things go from here on out.
