But if you leave that understanding out, one could see it as just that. Just look at the other posts in this thread. And by chiming in on the same thread you may have gotten inadvertently lumped into the same group by Zogg. (I've mad the same mistake myself at times, as have we all.)

That was more for someone else. And yes, it can be hard to keep up with everything on TMO. Trust me, I know that quite well.

This, again, was not directed at you, but rather an acknowledgement that in general this is not the first time this proposal was on the table. This exact plan was laid out a year and a half to 2 years ago, and the community at the time yelled it down. To be fair, Nokia was still in good shape, and the rep was poo-pooing the concern publicly, as were many senior members. But having that plan to work off of is one of the key items that allowed us to do all this in such a short time frame.

The lesson to learn? Next time someone that's otherwise had a history of being sane starts pulling the chicken little routine; maybe it's best to let them setup the ground work, if it won't hurt anything to do so, just in case the sky does start falling.
