Two thoughts: in general, I feel I have gotten very good feedback even though I am quite new to the Temple. My comments have been judged on their own merits, bye and large.
That said, there are suggestions I have kept to myself for the time being, out of respect. I figure a person should put some time in, earn a bit of respect and credibility, before telling the people that built a thing how they should run it.
A few times now, I figured out why something I might have changed is the way it is. Glad I took the time to understand before running my mouth.
TotJO can and must refine and adapt. And I might even have an idea that would help. But I should probably show enough respect to put my feet down for a year before I walk around
knowing better.
