I objected to Aaron's use of the word "bummer" not because of its 
colloquial nature, but rather its high index of negative connotation 
when referring to a purely syntactical aspect of the language.  This is 
in contrast to my use of informal chatter ("kick the living crap out 
of") which was specifically designed to engage the reader at a more 
visceral level and to quickly and concisely present my point of view 
vis-a-vis the superior nature of EGL's feature set.

I apologize if my commentary offended you.
