[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now that Jeff has endorsed this Stay at Home Anonymous poster -- people may rely to their detriment on her postings. That's not good.[/quote] Whether Jeff has endorsed this thread or not, it would appear it has some official status as it is on top of the forum. This space is usually reserved for moderator sanctioned threads. While the OP may want to be of service, it is concerning that part of her "data on test scores and other academic awards is compiled" http://fwd4.me/Jes which includes stats grid is speculative, incomplete, inaccurate. Yes there are some accuracies, but she is relying own questionable data which is incomplete and she fails to cite references with footnotes (Wikipedia style) or even assign years for this data. The fact of the matter is that the grid is incorrect. I would not mind her post if it were not tacked on at the top of the private school forums - which makes it look official. No one elected this person moderator or deemed her to be fair and her data is skewed. It is misleading that she has taken it upon herself to post her thread at the top of the forum. I feel strongly the post needs to be removed from it's current status at the top of the forum. Please consider this Jeff. Thank you!! [/quote] Looking back through this thread, I see that you raised a number of issues with her data. In each case, she addressed your point and, in almost every case, data that you thought was missing was actually there. So, I am not clear on what problems you believe remain. I have to say that I am shocked and disappointed at the hostile reactions to SAM2's efforts. She has shown that she is willing to accept input from others. If anyone sees short-comings in what she has done, I am sure she would welcome assistance to correct problems You are absolutely correct that nobody elected SAM2 to anything. She stepped up and did a lot of work to produce something that can be very helpful to others. Throwing stones is not going to make her work better. To the contrary, nobody will ever want to try something similar again. If you are not happy with what SAM2 has produced, then do something to improve it. Step up to the plate just like SAM2 did. Again, it's been said before, but SAM2 didn't make the thread a "sticky". She does not have that ability. I made it a sticky and I did so because I believe it is a useful resource for users and I want it to be easy to find. [/quote]
