I wasn't being sarcastic - I quite enjoyed yesterday's brouhaha and it convinced me parties could be fun. But that's probably because you were first to market. Everyone has their own separate ideas how the underlying stuff (eg spending or justice or contracts) should work and *all* of them are in construction or repair right now- that's hard to build systems with, so I'll just enjoy what comes along with parties and stop trying to run along behind with the repair truck.
