Mistakes are forgivable as long as you fix them or admit to them and don’t fob people off.

The removal of the pagination was a blunder--a side effect of optimizing our queries. We're about to deploy the fix today (Wednesday). That said, we have usability at the forefront of our minds. I'm currently spending my days making sure we have a consistent and intuitive experience. That's going to require some changes that may not be loved by 100% of our users. We're going to make mistakes. At the same time, we're good listeners. We love this community, and we're going to do everything possible to foster it. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts! Best, Jack. Gary,
