i didn't say anyone should discourage anyone else ... but issuing a big
warning (and if only to prevent having to support people that don't get
along with fixing it after they broke it when following the ML post they
found via google in a year or so) for an unsupported method isn't a bad
thing. 

I also hate it when things move from support to argument but don't you
expect that claiming that someone spreads FUD while he just issued
friendly a warning to someone who might potentially shoot himself in the
foot actually moves the discussion into an argument here ?
