Huh? The trouble with a thread like this is that everyone is preaching to the converted, and the original sinner won't even get to hear the reactions. It is a good idea in such a case if as many people as possible can take the effort to complain to the originator of the incorrect comment. Preferably try to do this in a constructive manner (it does not help to send messages to people saying they are silly idiots in a PR context, even if we do it occasionally in technical discussions on CLA :-) :-) Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
