Actually, if someone were really wedded to the idea for his own
driver, I would probably have the same mildly disparaging comments
about it (because I still think it's the wrong path), but as long as
he keeps his hobbies to himself and doesn't insist on others doing
likewise, I don't think I care.  Weirdness in one or a few drivers is
just par for the course.
