I didn't get to refresh but I agree with your thoughts on making it a positive outlet. You can rant and rave all you want if it makes you feel better, it doesn't help fix anything. State the problem, then think about solutions rather than reiterating the problem with your own personal anecdotes. There's a lot of negative stuff going on, so adding to the negativity only makes it worse. I hope to get to the next refresh and see if the solutions part of it improves. I like your points.

People can call to complain, ask a question, make a suggestion, whatever, and get routed to the correct department. If NYC can do this, why not every city -- and why not on the web too?

In a way I'm glad I missed this one and saw your write-up of it instead, with it's turning the negatives into positives. It's given me food for thought and made me want to bring positive ideas to the next Refresh meeting. Thanks for that.
