I've already turned down my feelings about it several notches. But at
least you noticed what I said by the words I chose. That's was the
whole point.
I'm going to be blunt about how I feel about it and present my
technical argument. Being purely technical tends to lead to being
ignored. You noticed because I didn't do that.
I agree with Matthew on this one. You got noticed, yes, but for *very* much
the wrong reasons... which may backfire in the long run: your non-
inflamatory/technical feedback will indeed have higher risk of not being
considered seriously.
