| Yes. And now you're just spreading FUD because Roy clearly said none |
| 19 |
| of that would happen, so it's pointless to even try to go that route |

Which is irrelevant to the discussion about what is acceptable when |
| 23 |
"scratching an itch". And what you are dismissing as "FUD" is in fact |

what stopped a change that would royally piss off an awful lot of users. |

| 27 |
