It's really quite something to see 30 year old grudges and foot stamping 
all because something in the distant past didn't happen in their 
preferred way. It's nearly impossible to even know what the preferred 
way actually was because, you know, grudge. I started a thread on what 
that might be and it was singularly uninformative about what they 
consider wrong. I'm going to go on a limb and say that an apartment 
building not logging something sinking 30 years of work and deployment 
is a little, um, yeah.
