NOTE: For some reason there’s been a lot of nastiness in the comments to these updates. Disagree all you want, but if you can’t do it without being nasty, either go away or I’ll ban you. I’ve never had to post a notice like this before, and I notice that most of the nastiness seems to come from commenters I don’t recognize, which will just make it easier to ban people.
