Also, and this is directed at devs in general, the whole "stfu unless you can submit a patch" mentality is narrow-minded at best. Just because someone can't code it themselves doesn't mean that an idea is bad.Too many people act as though a suggestion were a demand and many devs content themselves with "good enough" if they can avoid putting more work into it. Not everyone is a coder and it would often take someone far more time and effort to create a patch than a dev who's intimately familiar with the code.
I think you will notice that that attitude tends to appear once a thread has reached 50 comments... It is generally intended to be a "stfu" rather than a "stfu unless you can submit a patch". This will be the 75th post in the thread and I don't think a new point has been made since about post three.

There are a few bits and pieces that have come out of it but yeah, overall it should be TGN'd. Still, a better reply would have been "you're alone on this, let it go" instead of "so submit a patch". Meh. Xyne
