Well... Considering the noise you made recently about the new bridge behavior, I'm sure we all
understand this is a problem for you.
We try and find a reasonable solution between two somewhat incompatible expectations and this is not
easy. If you have had a real reading of my proposal, you would have noticed that I really tried to
find a solution that would be acceptable for both situations. Stephen, which is far more experienced
than me on this topic explained that my proposal was (and still is) not applicable.
Instead of annoying us with comments like "brilliant idea" or "nice idea", feel free to propose
something that would contribute to the solution.
Nicolas.
