agred, i bet that all of you are ,in the words of mini mac "reckless black diamound riders" ,and probaly would never ride the beginer trail.
in my eyes diablo is all that i need!
The only thing I would agree needs help are the signs indicating a trail merge. Seriously. I only rode there for two days (loved every second...want to go back NOW) but I think there were about 3 times where I was going so fast on Alpine that a almost vaporised some n00bs merging into the mid/lower portion of the trail.
Also...maybe toss a basic sign somewhere that tells people, "Not to be stopped in the ****ing middle of the trail as I exit the SRAM berm at 35mph or my 50lb bike may ruin their day."

I think Shawn's comment about not introducing people to DH/FR at the resort is key to killing this argument. Everything else can be bickered about over and over...signage, padding, blah blah blah.
Bottom line what has grown Diablo over the past 3-4 seasons? Beginners, no. I have driven 11 hours to Diablo 5 times over the past 3 years, and I would not drive that to have a nice flowy smooth ride down.
Kudos Diablo...former downhill champion dude...get over yourself.
