There's a lot of subjectivity in this sentence... "appropriate"... |
| 8 |
"annoyed"... but none of it is relevant to whether or not it is |
| 9 |
critical. |

|
| 11 |
Critical is about breakage that causes a lot more work in fixing than it |
| 12 |
would have in preventing and that the user will not know about until it |
| 13 |
is too late. |

Any evidence of this kind is irrelevant. We're not going to tie GLEP 42 |
| 20 |
in with paypal to give users money either, which would also be pretty |
| 21 |
good for users. It's *critical* news reporting, not slashdot. |
