I see all these little suggestions as the equivalent of
"oh no, don't bother fixing that oil seal, that takes too
long, I just stop at every street corner and throw in
another quart! I don't mind at all!".
There are ways to survive this list without fixing the
real problem, but the real solution would just be to
fix the damn problem.
Why should hundreds of listers have to download, preview,
and then delete stuff just because somebody had to get it
off their chest that Moby Grape was the first band they
listened to when they first got an 8 track player?
