[Opensim-users] You Assholes lost our funding!

[MW]

I really hope we can close this thread now. People on both sides got hurt. None of it was intended, but it happened. 

I do hope the one good thing that comes from this whole issue is that people are more careful when using trunk. Some people did get burnt by this, which wasn't good. But to be honest I would rather they got burnt by that (which did no lasting damage to any data/system) rather than some un intended bug that might have caused data loss or something else.

"PPS: this joke keeps me laughing, really..  can we have another on Friday
night ?  :-)"

I know the above statement is a joke from you..     and the answer is,
no.   It wouldn't be appropriate.

Sincerely
