Larry, you're whining.

And you're bickering with *me* (and a little grandstanding besides(1), truth
be told) because you'd rather just ignore the very real problem of Scott
Arthur and hope it goes away. It won't. You've enabled his behaviour.

1 - I am sorry that LEGO's misusing your trademark but it is not relevant to
*this* problem any more than the issues I am struggling with in producing a

We all have lots of problems and we all have to balance them. That's what
people do. This particular symptom of the problem may have been overanalysed
to death at this point, but that does not make Scott Arthur any less of a
long term hazard to LUGNET(tm). However it's a risk you have chosen to take,
so... so be it.

(trimmed general from the FUT, we don't really need more grandstanding)
