Don't worry about it. Pantherbeast is sort of a debbie-downer round here. He feels like he's an asset to EA by sticking up for the development crew, carefully monitoring these boards as if his efforts will hopefully land him a job at Tiburon in the near future.
New ideas would basically trickle through that one man's filter and he'll give us either. that's boring, ian's worked hard enough, I wouldn't use it so no and the inevitable but the cheezer's will hate it. no go.
