Nicely put, Olof. And you, too, boss. Snuck in while I was tapping away.
We try—but do not always succeed—to respect the gamut of opinions here. Ride it as it came out of the crate; modify it until it’s unrecognizable; polish it until it outshines the sun; ride it till it falls apart through use and benign neglect. Love a brand; hate the brand. Doesn’t matter. All we ask is that people respect others’ views and disagree respectfully. What we learn, constantly, is that communication is a difficult art and that it’s easy to cause offence without intending to do so. My view is that this problem is exacerbated by a written medium. But we try, and mostly it works. People who want to be rude and mean spirited opt out of this forum pretty quickly.
