HQ said he likes it. He plays reverse psychology. If they hate, it's good.
Thus, if they argue they like it, it would be perceived as bad. They try to
give you the illusion that you give them a service, a pleasure.
At the same time, they try to eliminate what upsets them more: a multitude of
threads with distinct subject lines (page titles). These change the
'flavour' of COLA's archives, which are accessed by curious Web
(re)searchers. And as long as Google serves as the gateway to information,
Microsoft is shivering in its boots.
Just my opinion...
Best wishes,
Roy
