and which of the following do you think is most likely to happen ?

* Ridiculous scenario #1
* Ridiculous scenario #2
* Spin of recent events to look like a conspiracy

obviously the last one is most likely since the other two are clearly 
ridiculous ... perhaps we should have each dev out there contribute tuples of 
scenarios and then we can write up rules that clearly lay down the law for 
the most likely of each group

i dont need to be reminded, i have plenty of hardware donations laying around 
me which i utilize quite often

we write up rules for things that are actual problems, not hypothetical 
scenarios that random people dream up

if you cant logically balance common sense, then you dont deserve to be a 
developer ... obviously you would tell sponsor who is attempting to blackmail 
you that they can blow it out their rectum
