How nice of you to be so understanding that many of us don't like the
changes.  You really don't need to be so arrogant!  Like to hear what
kind of whining you would do if there were changes you didn't like.
It is also really nice to see how the theme designers voices are not
considered in the changes forced upon us. No consideration on the time
and efforts we put in making these themes.  Nice how Google doesn't
really give a shit!  Hope that Google loses quite a bit of interest
down the road it would really serve them right as they are getting a
tad too big for their britches.  Now didn't your momma teach you to be
more empathetic and polite to other peoples feelings?  Who the hell do
you think you are?
