Personally, I don't agree with nor respect the changes Alex made. Now if Alex had originally posted in the books thread that the changes were made, would I have been bothered? No. I would not. Because I would have known. Not knowing when someone makes those sort of changes is not only wrong (IMHO), it's insulting to think that Alex doesn't give us enough credit to understand the words as written.
