I wish they would say that. but then again that would have proven me
being right with all my "rants" about dictatorship which they probably
try to avoid.

all your points

I am kinda stunned by the divided community in this subject..
specially since probably about 90 - 95% is in favor of the change and
roughly 5% isn't and yet they fail to admit that they made a "small"
mistake 4 years ago. interesting and sad to see. This whole discussion
gave me a good insight in all of that.

I however don't intent to put more heat in this discussion so will be
a little more friendly in my responses now (and shorter ones).
