As I have said before and where you and violently disagree is here. It is your belief that if the Rules do not say anything then you are free to do whatever you wish, you can throw data whatever you want and none can say you NO. Keep in mind that if the Rule does NOT exist, then those on the other side are likewise free to do whatever they wish including changing the Contribution that you just made and YOU cannot say NO to them either. So we have a game of ping-pong going, maybe you like that, I don't . So in this case Nick could contribute the divide as a subdivider and since it is not covered by the Rules pre se, no one can stop him, but next week somebody reverse the contribution and YOU nor anyone else would have the right to say NO. It's double edged sword when you start playing or allowing ping-pong games to be played.

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.

This.

As I said, I am fully aware of the situation...though we disagree about the voting.  I don't participate in pin-ponging.  When I submit something that isn't covered by the rules, I follow this pattern:

Submit, if accepted, done with contribution.
Submit, if rejected, done with contribution.

If someone comes along and tries to change what I have contributed, I vote 'no' with an explanation as to why I feel it shouldn't be changed, and let the screeners decide.  If they accept the change, I live with it and will not submit that profile again.

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.
