Speaking of forums and the Pov teams accepting newitches, I have gotten
the impression that many of the features
currently implemented in all versions of Pov have been a
result of discussions on the compuserve go povray forum.
This then would simply act as an extension to that forum.

  I would be the last to argue with the inherent nature of people to
stamp their little feet when thing are not going their way. There
is not much that anyone could do about that other than run a
moderated discussion group. But who wants that.
