And just to point out that Michele and I put a good amount of time into the
planning of AT and then Michele put even more time into writing the initial
articles. When, after it moved to production (through the normal process),
various people said they didn't like it, we pulled it. No biggie. No one
argued about it for three days. We pulled it. Took two seconds. Then we
moved on.

Can't we do the same here?

And teo isn't this pre-production loadging dock where everything that shows
up on teo ends up in weo. It's a *testing area*. Obviously, some of the shit
just ain't gonna make it. This is one of them. Instead of arguing about
what's there (since there seems to be a majority who isnt liking the
feature), why not discuss what would be a better solution? And if there is
really a majority out there who is for this feature but isn't saying
anything, then they lose out. That's how shit works. If you don't vote, you
can't bitch about who's president.

Dan, at one point you were telling people if they wanted to do something
with evolt, they should just do it. That's what jeff did. I have no problem
with how he implemented this. This came about late at night and only those
who were up responded. If they would have waited for responses before
whipping up a prototype, this would have taken forever. I'm glad he went
ahead and did it. But, now that we see it, we know it isn't something that
we'll need. So, we axe it. We shouldnt be reeming jeff for what he's done.
He hasn't done anything but build a prototype. if he insists against the
majority to move it to production, that's one thing. But all he's done is
build a prototype.
