Indeed. And they should make sure it stays that way. Legolas Send a noteboard - 21/03/2011 11:05:42 PM
I think that if those people are against what we're doing and the rest of the world is generally for us or neutral, it means we're doing something good.

Yes, but if the PR of this operation is ignored, it's really not a given that things will stay that way. So it's really not so absurd to consider that PR carefully.
