Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this topic go against number 7 in the Code Of Conduct?

[Jonathan]

No it doesn't; perhaps you should re-read it. Also, considering the fact that I started this thread and wrote the code of conduct, I don't think you need to worry about it. You could probably also read number 11.
