But, I am beginning to understand how/why this site, and others, end up
as they do.  In several posts I see that ugly wording..."take a
survey".  Doing these types of surveys, especially when done by
amateurs, is (IMHO) nothing less than "Design by Committee".  (Note: My
disdain for "surveys" has its roots in many hours of conversations with
a friend of mine who owns a market research company in Taiwan and the
UK.)  That doesn't take away from any of the time/work done by someone. 
It simply defines their limitations.

Heck, in my 35 years I've been tasked with more than one project for
which I was ill prepared and an ill fit.  And, due to time constraints,
I had to rely on others rather than really learning the subject.  Yes,
what I turned out was the best I could do but still substandard.  But, I
knew it and accepted any and all criticism.  I knew the difference
between calling my work crap and calling me crap.

But, never mind...  That tab can be labeled "Other Stuff" and newbies
will click on it and maybe find something useful...and the old timers
will click on it as they wonder "what the heck is that" and then equate
"Other Stuff" with "Spins".
