+
+In this thread at the moment, I see mostly people having (personal
+preference) problems with how i would solve this bug.
+
+while they aren't less important, what I would rather see in this thread
+is alternative solutions, or how the problem with A can be solved if it
+happens.
+
+even if both A and B are regarded as bad, I'd even prefer people to say
+that B is the lesser evil.
+
+complaining on how B is not good for you, doesn't get us anywhere with
+this bug.
+
+So please, give alternative solutions or state how A is perfectly viable.
