I think you should have looked at the actual tracker item, the evidence, 
before responding, instead of relying on a misleading claim.  The item was 
closed as invalid three week after an explantion was given with no response 
from the OP.  The link is in my response.

The willingness of bystanders like you to trash volunteers with random 
hobby horses is one reason there are fewer volunteers than needed.

Blah, blah.  Not as profound as you seem to think.
