Ryan, I find your communication style quite unfriendly here. I don't
see why Akira's considerately presented preference, which is different
from the one mp makes, deserves such a sarcastic reply.

If you drive away a single contributer by applying this style, you
have hurt the project more than anyone could by not adhering to some
minor guideline.
