Re: oooooh controversy!

Point taken. And a good one it is.
But the thing is, if you try to paint a watercolor with acryllics, it's no
longer watercolor. It's still art, and it could still be very nice, but it's
not watercolor. It's that kind of situation I think.
I, myself, have no problem with an extra few bytes of text on my screen, and
I daresay it wouldn't be a huge problem for people who don't want it to
ignore it. I'd say go for it :)
