I think Esri people should have a 100% say, its their forums, and I think they should get the same level of weight as the average user. There was earlier discussion if you recall, on whether that would be the case. Dan, you are correct in that jb is the only one that has commented, but if you look at the votes, two have voted against having a separate forum: jscheirer and khibma.
I am referring to these two and the others that may cast a vote. Both have been very helpful to me in release and in beta, and are also in position to respond to any of us through this new thread. There votes mean something. This is my reference to Esri personnel, not so much the people that went the extra step and commented. The ones that vote have an equal say in the matter.
