John, Please let it go.

I was also annoyed by Paul's initial post, but it was the aggressive tone,
not the technical content. After I cooled off, I re-read it and his point
about lack of notice of the breakage of the ports really was valid. While
it was done on purpose, it was really, really necessary, but a notice of
the impending change would have been a Good Thing (TM).

Paul has largely calmed down and the "mental genius" has responded in a
thoughtful manner.  Several suggestions, some pretty reasonable have been
made that should improve the situation.

It's time to remove the chip on your shoulder and get on with life. I have
been annoyed by Paul before and probably will again, but, no matter how
annoying (and, perhaps even insulting) his comments might be, he made a
valid point and one that needs addressing. Continuing in attack mode is
simply not helping anyone.
