It's amazing to me that anyone wold actively try to buck the system here. They killed sounder for less. The PTB have demonstrated time and again that they have a 'shoot first and ask questions later' mentality. Kinda makes you wish you could take the word 'Ubuntu' back, since the way in which the PTB are acting flies so directly in the face of the meaning of the word. It really makes me sad.

It's JARRING to be reading nicely trimmed bottom post responses then WHAM! A top post, followed by another. It hurts my head. It makes the list a mishmash. Is there an ~official guideline~ regarding that now??
