</div>If I have to start throwing some weight around to fix this process and<br>

I'll do so.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Throw your weight around all you want. </div><div><br></div><div>Might I suggest, though, that before you do, you walk a few miles in our shoes?

Hey, if I can feel like this, then I can only imagine what theme<br>
authors must feel like after you chew them up and spit them out. I'm<br>
surprised we get anybody even bothering to put themes in the repo.<br>

<div><br></div><div>Several of us have had several Theme developers who actually demonstrate a willingness to understand the process, and the Guidelines, and to work with us to help get their Themes approved. </div><div><br>
</div><div>Get over yourself, do some Theme reviews so you understand what the reviewers deal with, and then offer some constructive advice and criticism for improving the process and the guidelines.</div><div><br></div><div>
