The point is that don't really feel any need to have it fixed. I'm happy to have it remained unfixed, in which case I'll do something else. Like many others who have replied, it seems to me that you're applying the principle that "we're all in this together". If that were true, efforts to modify my behavior would be perfectly appropriate. Yet I am not in this together with all of you. I'm not wedded to Ada. I don't have enough invested in it. I'm an outsider at this point, delivering a message. I care only enough to be a messenger. If you want to shoot the messenger, fine with me, though after which you should anticipate fewer messages.
