While I sympatise with people in China who have less than stellar access to the entire internet, I don't think we should give the rest of the world a worse experience just so everybody has the same set of problems. At the same time, if we can design a solution that works well for everybody, that's of course preferable. -- Tollef Fog Heen UNIX is user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are
