Dammit, Scott, some of us would have liked to keep it, seeing as how we consider those
offended and/or annoyed to be not worth our attention.

Bring it back.  At the very least make it so that we can turn it on if we want.

And to those who are offended or annoyed by the beastie menu:  Get a clue, learn a thing
or two and go hack it out if you hate it so damned much.  It's not like you don't have
the source sitting there in front of you.  (Better yet, learn that a text image of a
_cartoon_ isn't going to eat your soul.)  This is particularly directed at the guy who
was so concerned about getting in trouble with his fellow believers-in-myths that he
whined to the mailing list rather than taking the trouble to fix it himself.

(Stijn, personally I think that those "unfortunate questions" are worthy only of
being ignored.  Scott, I would be happy to pick it up; shoot me a pointer to your bits
and pieces and I'll hack something together.)

Tempest, meet teapot.

Sorry, I've just had way too damned much of the "Christian morality" shoved in my face
lately.  If these people want to believe that the Devil lives in their computer, let
them.
