Maybe you should take your hatred over there, instead of PE...
Or maybe you did and found yourself unlistened to.
Your username (called "pseudo" in French) hints that you're a neo-prog fan or at least a symphonic-only prog fan (called "symph-weenie" in all langages).
PA has always been about inclusiveness not about setting up barriers and having to show a sufficient amount of symphonic weeny-ness to be allowed in the "prog" fortress. This always bothered those that claimed themselves as "defender of the prog faith" and would like to see the scope of "prog" exclude all other forms of progressive musics.
PA knows full-well its weaknesses and if they could, they would remedy to a lot of flaws. But PA started in different web era than where we are at today. The subgenres have been (or have become for a while) a weak link in the site, but unfortunately, the database was built along a certain canvas, which at the time did not allow multiple genre. According to the site owner (he's a professional website designer), no such structural changes can be brought to the PA DB without risking the whole thing crumbling or being lost.
If you're so dead set about the way PA goes about it, you can always create your prog site with all the barriers and limitations you want to set-up.
In any case, PE =/= PA , but most here use the second for information as much as they use RYM or Discogs for their musical adventures.
Ssssoooooooooooooo, Yes (
), PA is not perfect, but nothing to piss your panties about or declare a fatwah against for prog blasphemy, by declaring them aan anti-symphonic antechrist.
Just use it for what it's good to you for... or don't use it at all, for all we care.
