I don't believe there was any kind of intent to cause anything in particular with the OP.
I think it was an honest post, in the heat of the moment, after seeing that new home view page. I think we all have jumped the gun once or twice in our life. I know I have. We get attached to our readers, like what we have set up.
So he/she posted, many clarified. But I don't think its fair to attach any kind of intent to the OP of anything other than a post made in some small anger at changes they didn't like.
Not sure if i'd come back to a thread like this after reading some of the responses. I might be embarrassed or just gun shy.
