I don't think I'll ever understand how people can get so upset about such insignificant things. It's been known as a 'twit filter' for more years than I can recall - long before the UT was even just an idea in Michel's head.

With all the important things in this world to worry about, how does something as trivial as this even make it onto anyone's radar?
