see this is the problem with selctivley snipping and replying out of 
context(AKA line by line replies) if you're going to include what i was 
replying to, at least include it all so there's some context left.

"practically since the beginning i've gone in and made performance 
enhancements where i've seen the need.  why should i do it any different 
now?"

so, you've done this since the beginning. yet, this is the first you've 
heard of it being a problem???

anyways, i'm not going to get into that on on list.

while 2+ years ago it may have just been you, me and walker working on 
the code there are more than you me and walker here now.

my perception? jeezus. unless you can give me more than 3 examples of 
letting people know you fixed something(and *how* you fixed it, which is 
also part of the point) for the 68 times you logged into the t.e.o FTP 
account between Oct 13 and Oct 26, its moot what my 'perception' is.

no it doesn't have anything to do with the changelog, which i see you 
accessed a couple hours ago, but sadly still haven't had the time to update.
