and which of the following do you think is most likely to happen ? |

* Ridiculous scenario #1 |
| 7 |
* Ridiculous scenario #2 |
| 8 |
* Spin of recent events to look like a conspiracy |

obviously the last one is most likely since the other two are clearly |
| 11 |
ridiculous ... perhaps we should have each dev out there contribute tuples of |
| 12 |
scenarios and then we can write up rules that clearly lay down the law for |
| 13 |
the most likely of each group |

i dont need to be reminded, i have plenty of hardware donations laying around |
| 20 |
me which i utilize quite often |

we write up rules for things that are actual problems, not hypothetical |
| 23 |
scenarios that random people dream up |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
if you cant logically balance common sense, then you dont deserve to be a |
| 26 |
developer ... obviously you would tell sponsor who is attempting to blackmail |
| 27 |
you that they can blow it out their rectum |
