An emotional argument again.  What's "strange" about it?

You have a choice of:

 1) believe me that the current solution is fine

 2) get down and try to understand the damn thing, and then come up
    with technical arguments for/against it

I know that 2) takes time and energy, and not a lot of people are
interested enough to go through it, but why on earth do you think it
will _ever_ be easier than now.

Thanks,
