So, tell us what you think about these Morning Coffee posts. Are they useful? Are they unnecessary? What kind of content would you like to see in them? How would you improve them?

I think they're very useful. At the very least they provide the impression that the people in charge are engaging with the community, even if their response is "no, for reasons." The idea is not to concede to every user demand but to establish an open dialogue where people know they're being heard. I've done similar things before to great success, and I think you've got it right.

So for the moment I have no suggestions for changes or improvements in the Morning Coffee posts.

While we're on the topic, how do you handle assholes in your daily lives?

I give them enough rope with which to hang themselves. Then I kick open the trap door.

Figuratively, of course!
