Like I said, I just worry about corners being cut.

Me too. This is a very valid concern, and it's true for more than just this
particular instance.

So you should support mechanisms that are likely to reduce the probability
of corners being cut and oppose mechanisms that are likely to increase it,
right?

What is the question?

Seemed pretty obvious to me. It is a yes/no question.

It reads like some sort of order, but is has a "?" at
the end.

Are you actually engaging in grammar flaming? That's a yes/no question, by
the way, in case you weren't sure.

If you're going to ding me for a misplaced question mark (which in this case
is *not* misplaced), well then I should probably go through your posts and
do the same and flag all the incorrect spellings too. Isn't that a total
waste of time, though? Even by your standards?

Everyone knows your grammar and spelling is atrocious, but I let it slide
unless it's actually getting in the way of understanding what you're saying.
I make an occasional mistake, granted, but nowhere near your level. Call me
on it in the rare case that it gets in the way but grant me the same
courtesy you get.

So give this particular tack up completely or get back what you give at a 15
or 20 to 1 ratio.
