Who is shouting about right to choose? In fact, I see only MATE in |
38 |
capital letters there, and that's because that's the way that it's |
39 |
written by upstream. Just because you enjoy forcing people to do things |
40 |

41 |
cool with giving the users choice, it doesn't HAVE to be done, but I'm |
42 |
not so against it that I insist they follow my one true way... |
