In fact actually Profiler has three separate legs, the Online, your Local and your Local Online, which is why it is among the powerful such programs out there, but it is getting weaker as users successfully impose their particular preferences I for one, do not believe that this program is getting weaker due to it's membership's participation. Quite the contrary, it is the tunnel vision of a very select minority who are trying to hold it hostage, by what can also be perceived as personal preference, by keeping it from securing an expanded contributing workforce. |

I believe that this first sentence is the basic problem. There is nothing, and certainly not a database, that will serve everyone. Such a thing does not and can not exist.
Excellent point. The only database that serves everyone equally is an empty one.
Not correct at all on any point. You clearly don't understand the program. The Online serves ALL, the Local serves YOU. The problem is that so few users really and truly comprehend this and they want the Online to serve as THEIR reference point, which is not it's function. The strength of profiler lies in exactly the division of the online and the Local. In fact actually Profiler has three separate legs, the Online, your Local and your Local Online, which is why it is among the powerful such programs out there, but it is getting weaker as users successfully impose their particular preferences on the Online, such as THIS particular thread. It really is a shame. Good old Skip forever the sole defender of all that is holy and good  |

Saying there is a database that pleases everyone is the equivalent of saying the customer is always right. Anyone who has ever worked retail knows that is not true.  I sure can agree with you on this  |

| | Posted: | | | | The idea of sending empty profiles looks funny, but...
It will be so better to contribute the profile with only the title and find 3 users to lock the online profile. This way no stupid argument anymore and the database will serve everyone (or no one, but it won't be for the majority or the minority of one)... | | | | Last edited: by Jimmy S |
