it's not as quotes bad quotes as people make out. and i've decided on my principles: i worked hard to come up with them: it would be damn stupid of me to abandon them, wouldn't it? plus, there is another reason that i haven't mentioned explicitly: by saying "no, you can't take the easy way out", once the grumbling's stopped, there's been more activity sorting out the infrastructure - which involves other people actually talking and coordinating and writing python and pyjamas apps than there has been in a long time.. hasn't there? and once it's done, i'm sure that the people who did that will feel proud to have done it, won't they? it's *their* community, not some jack-ass piece of shit that can't be modified. you _did_ see peter's request to enable the feature of allowing him to close bugreports? because it's a proprietary monetarily-zero-cost service on code.google.com that cannot happen, can it? i have good reasons, jeff - they weren't just made up on the spur of the moment "i know i'll decide to make peoples' lives hell". l.
