And you refuse to pay any heed to the multitude of explanations as to why despite being half-assed and middle of the road, it certainly isn't useless. /shrug

Look at it this way.

Little Timmy gets paid $10 an hour, he's struggling to get by on that and feels that he is due a pay rise. He'd quite like $100 an hour but that simply isn't going to happen. He decides to do one of the following:

A) Ask for a pay rise to $100 an hour.

B) Appreciate that that's never going to happen and not ask for anything.

C) Ask for a pay rise to $11 an hour.

Option A is one side of your suggestion, feel free to make your own thread asking as such and we'll see how that goes. I'll even bring the marshmallows.

Option B is the other side of your suggestion, nobody wins and the sorry state of affairs we have stays in place.

Option C is the choice grounded in reality. Is it what Little Timmy really wants? No. However.... It's a request that's much more likely to get a positive result. Even if it isn't a huge result, it's a start and it's progress. Once more people warm up to the idea and realise that this parsing stuff isn't actually all that bad then perhaps we can put option A back on the table again.
