[Tfug] Well, now i've seen it all.

Bowie,  

You might be one of the smartest and talented people on this list.  I understand a triangle shaped tire.  What I do not understand is why you make that analogy.  

If you were an attorney and arguing a case you would lose because you have not laid the foundation and helped the court understand why. 

Just because you make a statement does not make it so.

I for one am truly interested in why you think these changes are bad.

You want me to give you a technical analysis of a triangular tire?

...I'd venture that most people on this list would know instinctively that it's a bad idea.
