Fair enough.
This might sound argumentative, but I don't mean it that way.
My conclusion is that the PT (as it exists) is so broken that there's nothing that can be done with it to fix it. So I turn to Mulligans. They might be difficult impossible to pull off, but they are our only hope. ;)
That being said, I have picked out the hat I hope to eat whenever Adywan gets around to the PT. If anyone can make the drastic alterations required to save that pile of poop- he can.
(And I look forward to The Ridiculous Menace and not remembering what's old and ridiculous vs what's new and ridiculous).
