The new JR Venture

Okay. It chaps MY rear when somebody frames a question with a tone of "I don't see what everyone is crying about; I've done this or that (which has absolutely NO relevance to the topic at hand) for years." The implication, of course, being that the controversy or whatever is groundless. In this particular case, it may be; but little things like that can make or break a new design and therefore are to be considered.
Why bother with a private message? I was answering your question; if indeed it was a question.
