Could you be less insultant, and more constructive? Please respect us, as
we respect you. It's no use flaming us.

This "enlighten" stuff is only reflecting your personal thoughts.

Please do not think you talk for everyone out there. It is far from being
true that everyone is supporting you in your asserts.
Especially in this ISO case.. I'm sorry to tell you that, but you're
totally missing the point.
Please list the number of people out there who think, as you, that there
is definetely NO NEED for ISO's. If you can grab support from the majority
of cookers, we'll rethink our behaviour upon the making of ISO's.
I already tried to explain you why we do propose ISO's to Cookers.

Maybe Cooker is not anymore as you wanted it to be. I'm sorry for that.

Yes, we should do like that, you're right. There is simply not enough room
for the moment, on the mirrors, to contain all the trees we would need. We
can only have one Cooker at a time.
