@Ann: Word.
@KR: Maybe its not so bad that he has gaps in knowledge of SL history - if that prevents him from dismissing good ideas with 'that won't work, we tried it once before, didn't do it right, and blamed all of you, so doing it right won't work.'
Lets let him pretend its a new and good idea, and see if he can get it done right - kinda like all the things the people before him said 'could not be changed' about viewer 2, have now been changed in viewer 3. :D
