*thoughtful* I don't disagree. However, I do agree the users have a right, and an obligation, to protest what they don't like or agree with and why they don't like it, especially when the action is done a.) in a deliberately underhanded way and b.) against established community practice.

I--don't get that. On one hand, yes, it's annoying to read five hundred OTT messages. On the other, the no one has a right to protest--that I don't agree with at all.
