In reply to Greg Schoppe.

Just in case: While I'll not continue to respond to the third basemen in this thread, I'd already read the open reply on your blog site. I understand and don't disagree on a number of points there (although I found the "lie" accusation unnecessary and unhelpful) . As I responded below, I get the concerns. But the editor is far from done, and we're not going to see a ground up rewrite of core, as cool as that might be. I'm trying to be more pragmatic in my aging I suppose. Cheers.
