if the system doesn't support what people want to do, the system is 
inappropriate.

We are not here to cater to computers and their limitations, although I might 
decide personally to do so in order to pursue my own goals.

The useful system may not have been realized yet - perhaps isn't possible with 
current technology.  But this is an entirely voluntary system, and the people 
who use it are not wrong - they are the reason for the system, and their 
desires are the only guide to what the system should do, as they are the only 
reason the system exists in any form.

You may use it as you wish.  So will I.

Users are never wrong.

Cheers,
Bret
