This piece is so short, and the content so similar to what's being discussed in the original thread[0], that I'm not sure what about it warranted an entirely separate post. Wouldn't this have been better as a comment on the original thread?
No idea, didn't see the original thread. I'm just trying to get more wind behind this, so more people protest against it. It's not really fair on these guys.
