I often have to dismiss people who are clearly doing the best they can because their best just isn't up to our standards. the same should apply anywhere. even to voluntary positions.

Really sorry you feel this way, Storch, but even sorrier that you posted this. There is only a handful of active staffers left, and there really wasn't a need to denigrate the contribution we make in order to support your argument that setups could be thought out more before they're posted.
In this particular instance, we did talk back and forth about adding or deleting different planes, as we almost always do. As often happens, we though the reality could be adjusted to good effect instead of blindly adhering to the theory. So adjustments were made after the setup was first loaded. There's no harm in that that I see, and none that you've pointed out.
It appears to me that you find little or no value in staffers' contributions of their time - often at very bad times, such as Friday mornings, or when their wives are pregnant or their kids are sick - if it doesn't produce a polished finished product. I think you're being unrealistic to expect that sort of performance.
The original staffers who started the CT all burned out and left, as have many since then. You might just consider being a bit more appreciative of the service you get, even if it isn't perfect.
