Yup, this came up as well. I can't recall if Greg mentioned this in the

ROC's been around long enough that many things are different to change
(accept?). It's like turning an aircraft carrier :-)
Still, if you think something is better, you can't be afraid to put it on
the table. Many times, I wish that people out there "lurking" on chat
would speak up - Robbie did!
