Um, thanks for the pessimism I guess.

Some of us are working very hard to figure out how to address the
problems we are seeing, but I guess others just want to benefit from
this research project without accepting the risks.  Fortunately, most
seem to accept that sometimes, when you are on the cutting edge, and you
are trying new ideas all the time, somethings things need to get worse
so that they can get better.
