OK fair enough, _BUT WE STILL HAVE TO FIX THE PROBLEM_. 

I've read your proposal, and yeah, it makes sense, is simple, and easily 
doable. I've submitted my proposals, which I believe are likewise. Neither of 
them involves any large code changes.

I don't really mind either way myself (although naturally I lean slightly 
towards my suggestion). I'm only concerned that _something_ is done.

We need to decide which to do. How?
