I can't imagine how Shalott & Elyn managed; they must be superhuman! It's easy to knock the current system, but the ability to edit stories without having to e-mail Elyn is worth a lot of hassle.
I get the impression (I read coal when I'm having trouble sleeping sometimes) there's been a lot of sock-nominating -- there are multiple anons talking about having used 3 or 4 socks to nominate. I think the most useful thing for matching might be persuading people to check that someone (other than them) has requested at least some of the fandoms they've offered; most people I know check obsessively but I suspect others don't know how to or don't realise how important it is.
