hmmmmm...  
perhaps I am not the best person to respond to this, since I am 
primarily a lurker, quietly reading posts and following the 
conversations.  
but, you seem to have been a valuable participant in the piecepack 
(man, it bugs me not to capitolize that word) experience.  It would 
be a shame to lose you.  
I am hoping that your comments will be heard by those who could help 
straighten out the situations that you see as wrong, and that we all 
(myself included, if there is a way) can help you make this more like 
the experience you wanted.

hope you are still out there long enough to have gotten this little 
missive.  
I also hope that your holidays are going well.

(by the way, Happy Holiday Season to everyone out there!)
