Nicole, thanks - for both the write up and your input in the alpha stage. It should be noted that the "Cosmos" functionality in the site came entirely from your suggestions and moreover it was one that I originally laughed off as not useful. After thinking about it and fiddling with algorithms, I realized you were right. Now it is part of what I really like about the project. As opposed to the very "me-centric" view of things via predictions, it is more of a gestalt view of what the general sentiment is amongst shows. Awesome!
I invited you precisely because I knew you'd be tough and while it stung a little to get your (quite long) original feedback, it is better today for having endured that stinging sensation. I appreciate your time and directness and willingness to express difficult truth to me.
