I think you went a little over the top with this message. If you'd taken a moment to calm down and limited yourself to presenting an emotion-free complaint, you'd be in a much better position to expect a positive result. Yes, DES broke the world build. Yes, more / better testing on his part could have avoided the breakage. Still, it's seldom useful to come on so strong. Ciao, Sheldon.
