This is different. This is a boxing ring. If you bring an idea here it is subject to abuse, and those who can't bear to see their ideas abused shouldn't bring them here. To hell with thread hygiene. Sterile threads are dead threads. There is a point where I will agree with you. That point is somewhere out around Evile. It's nowhere near where you want it.
