Mods are a great capability. But if they are treated as a substitute in lieu of solid out-of-the-box features, that's relying on them too heavily. The genius of the community is a marvelous resource. But it should be a secondary resource for those who want to adapt and add to what is already a finished product.

Again, I think most of us understand that with the complete rewrite the PbP could not receive the attention it deserves when considered in isolation. Again, as with so many other features, we now look to 2007 as the chance to give this the attention it needs.

But it's hard to argue with the notion mentioned above that if you're selling a text sim, the text presentation ought to be among the highest priorities. In fact, if you think about it, OOTP2006 is more an organizational and stats sim than a text sim.
