Well, I think that if users knew that information would be on these |
| 14 |
places, they might actually check them. Currently, little to no |
| 15 |
information ever makes it to either of these locations, so users never |
| 16 |
bother to check them. If we were to change that, I'm sure users would |
| 17 |
eventually pick up on the fact. |
