DWM14 does have a bit of a point here but I would say more like "the complete lack of a DT system"..
The space to leave notes is not the thing, but rather it is the weight the notes carry if made by certain individuals, and how they got that weight, IMO..

I do like the DT system a lot, but it got quite an unfair start between the initial start of the merit system, concentration of merits to a certain area/board/group, to the initial start of the new DT system, with a group of those protesting the old DT system by creating their own custom trust lists before it was even implemented, having quite a head start..

I still respect theymos a lot, and I think he is trying hard not to put himself in the place of a king here by keeping his hands off of the trust system, and letting it go where it goes, even if he doesn't always agree with its direction..

Though this removing Lauda from his exclusions list move has me really questioning the direction that I see he may hope it will go in..
Quite a wrench thrown into the matrix of what I thought was going on around here, so I have to think again about some things..
