We have been told that the new 4E is not new. Except that it is. That is basic, except that it is not. That there all the advantages of newness, but none of the nasty side effects, which seem to come from acknowledging that some big changes are involved.

So if we can't call it was it is, since we have been told not to, over and over again, we just call it a ...zucchini...

I get your view, just not your choice of zucchini. Are you picking a random vegetable and attempting to create your own meme, or is it something established?

I didn't realize how hard it was to spell.


And that meme, its right around the corner!

Marcell Marceau was the best meme ever- most of the other memes out there need to be put into an invisible box and thrown in a river.

You might have a point if... say... they stopped printing PHBs and completely redid the line as essentials.

Draco, I am glad we could come to an agreement.
