@Mike Schinkel, a middle ground about/with silliness? there is none, for people in their right mind; should people really find/force themselves into conciliation about non-sense? I don't think so and mostly; I have no say about deprecating that; but is that a priority? does it harm anyone? someone have died from backtick infection, it must be according to some? and so on. Don't see where there is a heated topic; solely a reminder about reality and facts.
