Elfur mentioned jeff in almost all of his/her answers, to me it sounded 
like the reason we weren't doing much on a redesign was a fear of 
upsetting jeff. I wasn't saying that you should abadon anyone's ability, 
but if someone isn't around to help because they're busy (which, as I 
said, I fully appreciate) we shouldn't be waiting around and holding 
everything back for a time when they're free.

I wasn't *being* rude, I was asking a question!

Where on earth did you get the idea that I assumed elfur was 
ignorant/incompetent?
