I'm not sour at all--it's going to work the way I think it should work
and I didn't have to code it :)

I really am interested in the procedure we use to evaluate ideas like
this. The outcome was different last time, does this mean that if we
were to ask again six months from now we would get a different answer?
I really would like to know if the reason for the change is because
people changed their minds or because a different group of people
could be bothered to speak up. Was it experience with the old
interface? Were the arguments more convincing this time?
