  1. @esacteksab I pretty regularly advocate for actually trying 3. I'll be unstoppable when 3.3 is final.
  2. @esacteksab a lot of people like to assign their own circumstances to everyone who asks instead of admitting that they really don't know :)
  3. @esacteksab well, it's possible that it still depends, but in general, I'm not in that camp, no. Why did you think I was?
  4. @esacteksab I don't believe I've ever uttered that. I do say it's dependent on circumstances though.

  17. @kantrn thanks! I'd seen that book before, but forgot all about it. I'll take a closer look.
