Thanks for your feedback, and I agree I might have been a bit too overwhelming with the questions! Regarding your email / username instruction in your profile, do you mean replacing HN with your username appended with a 1? Re: "Would you mind if your system becomes the system of choice for event organisers, but that event goers curse you at every stage of the process?" - ideally, we would have both! :)

> Thanks for your feedback, and I agree I might have been a bit too overwhelming with the questions! Getting feedback is hard - but as with writing software, putting yourself in the position of the other person is crucial. If you can't do it yourself you need to find someone who can critically and honestly play that role. If you saw a list of questions like that, would you keep reading after the first two? > Regarding your email / username instruction in your profile, do you mean replacing HN with your username appended with a 1? Make a choice and go with it. >> Would you mind if your system becomes the system of choice for event organisers, but that event goers curse you at every stage of the process? > Ideally, we would have both! :) You usually don't have the luxury of getting everything, and hence need to make hard choices. What are your criteria and guidelines for doing so? I remember in the middle of a company buyout having long discussions about the relative merits and drawbacks of two options. After a while my glance fell on the poster on the wall that proudly proclaimed our company's mission statement, a remnant of the out-going management, and something we'd agreed we obviously true and utterly vacuous. But in truth, it made one of the options impossible - the choice was made for us. What are your policies? What do you use to guide your decision-making process? These are rhetorical questions to make you think, they don't need answers here.
