   I've brought up a couple of ideas and have gotten a cold response from the
developers. Tweaking the database for personal reasons seem to be a taboo
subject so people probably don't bring up all of these little ideas that they
have. So developers don't get feedback that could be useful. It probably also
distorts their ideas about how users interact with the system.
