I didn't see the other thread, sorry.
Although it may not be related to optimization, I think it does have a bit to do with the optimization forum, as many of the folks here might not be here if it were not for the ass-hat-ery of G0.
And just as I hadn't seen the other thread I'm sure there are others that don't read all the boards on this forum, and stick mostly to the optimization boards. There's no harm in letting them know as well.
If we did want to consolidate conversation on it, the least you could have done was hook us up with a link.
