<p>Actually, not only are they seemingly reluctant to add such feature, but have gone the opposite route. One added benefit of subscribing to the online edition was to be able to download the tables and (with a bit of effort) make them useful in an Excel format. They killed that ability by introducing a more graphic format and preset “weights.” The result is an idiot-proof presentation that is cumbersome and annoying. </p>
<p>Further, a few years ago, I discussed with Morse about offering “professional” versions of the rankings that would be sold via CDs (or downloadable) and contain the historical tables. I am pretty certain that many would not spending $25 for such product, or even more if ot would give access to additional background or raw data. </p>
<p>So far, I think comments from users are falling on deaf ears. We will soon know if Morse paid attention to the hate mail he must received about this “upgrade.” The soon part can be quantified on their website with that obnoxious Times Square look-alike clock. :)</p>
