Probably a net gain to the signal-to-noise ratio, though? lysace 2 days ago I think it's a bad design. There should be a window of a few minutes to override it.I made a rash comment (not a very bad one, but I introduced politics for no reason), very quickly regretted it, but you were faster.Now many people will read this idiotic exchange instead of doing something more productive.
