Pier +1'ed it. And whoever got -1'ed (sorry forgot your name), was pretty cool about it.. (+100 on that response btw..) Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't like it either to get -1'ed, although there were good reasons from Pier's perspective. When he got enough convincing arguments, he did a +1.. Too bad some other discussions got mixed up with this one specifically, which clouded the request from Pier for more information about him...
