Growing Pains

Greetings, Tribe. At the moment, Pete's currently lost at the Fort Lauderdale airport -- like Bugs Bunny, he took a wrong turn at Albequerque when he tried to return his rental car.  Luckily, he managed to make his plane back to NYC.

You can track Pete's return flight here, by the way. It's set to take off around 4:15EST.

Until he returns, we have an issue that needs to be surveyed and discussed in part; namely, how the Little Tennis Blog That Could has turned into a well-behaved Monster and how to go forward on our best Monster-foot.

In case you hadn't noticed, TW has grown by leaps and bounds over the past year -- 5000+ new folks dropped by during the month of November alone. While we are very proud of what we've accomplished so far, we realize that this kind of explosive growth isn't without its potential drawbacks.

In order to best serve you and avoid those drawbacks, we need to ask a few questions and receive some answers. This for everyone, lurkers and regulars, and the answers will impact how TW is run within the near future.

Therefor, we invite everyone who reads to submit their answers (and comments, if you wish).

1.  What are you principally interested in, at TennisWorld?

2. Do you think off-topic discussions, in the comment sections..

3. Do you feel welcome? Why?

4.  Is there anything that we can do (that we aren't doing already) to provide our readers with a better "experience"?

On behalf of Pete, who is probably standing in line to board his plane, I'd like to thank you all for the time you take to answer these questions. :)
