Thanks, John.  A little blunt maybe, but it does get the point
across.

Apparently.  You've done a damn good job of doing it too.

John is a bit more blunt then the rest of us it seems.  I dropped my
question about the punctuation changes only because I figured I was
debating with someone who would not provide any real reason why it
was done. I didn't figure it was worth my time anymore. 

I've noticed over the last week though that there are other people who
also don't necessarily agree with your 'changes for the sake of changes'
methodology.  It's nice to see that these people care strongly enough
about the product to point these things out.  It's too bad though that
you're not reasonable enough to listen and act accordingly.
