In response to your question, to the best of my knowledge, I lobbied to some extent for:
1. shorter blocks
2. caps on length of blocks
3. warnings B4 EVERY block
oh LOL, and
4. I did try and help you yourself understand some things...but failed there too.(hence the 'accepting things you cannot change'...)
5. a reduction in the complexity and number of rulesummmm, I don't remember what else...
I used to sort of enjoy the back and forth here on admin, and behind it was the hope for change, and yes there WAS change, slowly...but not the changes I was hoping for.
I understand this is a work in progress for you, and perhaps the whole making changes and seeing asst reactions etc holds some interest for you, I don't know. I still don't understand your motivations despite recognizing some predicability.
LOL, I have a scientist part that loves a study and a challenge....but alas, I have not enuf time.
Oh well.
Best wishes.
