No, I was telling Doug to back off since he's been annoying me lately. And I haven't been insulting Jiles at all. This came up before, there was no consensus.

That's not my argument at all. Please don't twist it into that. Go check the IRC logs for the folks that chimed in, but really, we're talking about changing interfaces that people are used to and aren't too keen on giving up. Have a nice day. Warnerhome | help
