I read the blog and I was NOT talking about your blog post. Rereading
what I wrote does show that I did not convey that clearly. What I was
trying to refer to was that over the long winding thread others have
pointed out that this would be great from an aesthetics view or
implying that wanting to see the boot messages was uglifying things.

That was where my dander was getting up earlier. Your blog post did
not get up my dander and I was agreeing that you were a) listening to
us old grognards and b) trying to come up with a solution that
encompassed that listening.

I apologize because my writing skills did not convey that.
