First.. I want to thank you for your input..

I haven't really been clear on how many are currently blocked.. but I don't know that it's as much about the number of posters currently blocked. I think it might be more about it being a clear administrative gesture of good-will on your part. Symbolic, maybe.. of a number of things. for example, blocking, block length, and blocking formula have been at the hcore of the community's loss of heart. Amnesty might represent a significant move on your part.. demonstrating a tangible hope that you will put your finger on the pulse here and genuinely listen to the community.

I don't know how much it has to be to count, but it seemed to me that amnesty, along with reduction in length of blocking have been at the forefront.
Regardless.. I'm all for focusing on whatever issues are of interest to you. Where would you like to start?
