[wplug] reckless pedestrians

[Tim Quinlan]

I'm very quiet on this list.  I've only sent a few emails to it.

With that said, can we please stop talking about this.  People are  
dicks, get over it.  Complaining about it to a computer oriented  
mailing list will not change anything,

If you really want to make a difference start a grassroots public  
awareness group.
