Once in a while, when this crops up (and lets face it, it's not the
first time Wietse has announced that changes in PF will break MS....
and hasn't:-), I get the distinct feeling this is more of a NIH
fenomenon than anything else.... I'm not really sure Wietse has ever
bothered to check any detailds about how MS really works... Nor that
he really cares.
It's really a shame, since both products are made less by it (in
peoples minds, not in actuality).
