  This is getting very old, John.

  If you don't like PCB, don't use it.

  If you don't like PCB but want to use it, do something to "fix" it.

  Do something constructive.  Don't just sit there and spout off with
your obvious hatred for PCB.  It makes you look like just another bored
middle-aged guy stuck at home with no life, getting his excitement by
kicking proverbial hornets' nests on mailing lists, safely behind the
physical anonymity of a mail server.  This harms your credibility and
makes you look like much less of the man that I believe you to be.

  You are better than this.  Start acting like it.
