i can see the misinterpretation, but i called the decision stupid, not
the people...

previously i felt it was odd, then strange, then kinda daft, then just
silly... but as more and more people piped up to say they had
problems, and as everyone pushing for it felt like they were hitting a
brick wall, well, i felt it was stupid...

part of the reason i was so rabid in my post is because the last
dozen times this has come up, i've been ignored, or my arguments
were dismissed...

unfortunately, the only way i *could* get a response was to be
aggressive... but no, i didn't call anyone stupid, just the decisions...

sorry if it sounded too harsh, but that was my intention...
