the real problem with this critique is now we have: a +1 email a complaint, a response, a further explanation, and this mail.
as opposed to: a +1 email. so, in your effort to propose that we keep the list on topic and reduce divergent emails, you have turned a single distraction into five. it would appear the correct thing to do would be ignore the +1 mail, and rather spend your typing efforts trying to 'focus on coding matters' By the way this comes up on every mailing list, all the time. It's cute how each time the complaint issuer feels they are saying it for the first time. i'm sure its all been said on this very list even. I'd even go as far as to bet an email almost identical to this one has been posited here in the past. /// NEO: Whoa. Deja vu. TANK: Oh shit! Oh shit! TRINITY: What did you just say? NEO: Nothing. Just had a little deja vu. TRINITY: What happened? What did you see? NEO: A black cat went past us and then I saw another that looked just like it. TRINITY: How much like it? Was it the same cat? NEO: It might have been. I'm not sure. NEO: What is it? TRINITY: A deja vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something. Ross P.
