Dear all,

One more comment about the web site and its features​.

It is good that the proposals having a "Continue Reading" Option, can be
commented by readers, or ''evaluators" with a 'Leave a Reply' option. At
the moment not all the proposals do have this feature.

If the community decides to keep the dislike buttion, it would be wise to
make the "Leave a Reply" option available for all the proposals. Perhaps,
those participants who dislike would wish to explain why, particularly, etc.

Regards,

Narine
