OK - this seems to me to be rude. Why? Because you have presumably already read what my concerns were, and my discussion of the current implementation in my reply to Travis. You haven't made any effort to point out to me where I may be wrong or failing to understand. I infer that you are merely saying 'go away and come back later'. And that is rude.
