Well, I can't make sense out of that last sentence, and I am its
author.  Probably was supposed to be something like "If `convenient'
is supposed to be synonymous with "not wanting to hear ideas about
useful improvements", I would join Richard when he happened to not
agree to bowing to convenience.

Maybe moving on is harder for Drew than for most developers here,
since his principal contributions _are_ suggestions and so he has
little else to move to.
