This is an example of your general approach. You (this means several people) are not trying to help me make the right decision. Rather you are trying to pressure me to do what you want, at the expense of something I consider important. The result of this is that I don't trust your judgment about anything related to this issue. I will try to find out more about these refactoring practices -- privately, with people I have confidence in, that have no axe to grind. To approach the issue without prejudice, I will need to prevent resentment for your pressure campaign from influencing me. To help me overcome it, you would do well to drop the issue right now. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
