Okay, I must admit my response before was a bit of a knee jerk - I know you guys are aware of the communication problems, but it is still an issue (and emailing things to you often does feel like jumping through hoops, since often emails don't get responses unless we frequently poke one of the mods on IM about it).

If you need an email from someone, tell us. No one in that post had any way of knowing that you guys needed an email from your response, and the impression we had was that you were going to discuss it and didn't need any more input from players.
