I've done my best to explain what specific criteria we apply in cases like this (major ongoing topic, no significant new information). You can certainly disagree about whether I've applied the criteria correctly—e.g. if you feel that this letter does contain significant new information—but the criteria themselves ought to be clear, and are not arbitrary.

This is pathetic. You provided only multiple repetitions of a general description of your supposed process, dancing around very specific and concrete questions. You did not dispute any of my claims. Your explanation sounds a lot like the non-language of these moron CEOs in their layoff letters. A modicum of respect for your readership here would have been to highlight which other threads already display this information and discussion. Instead you clearly posted in your first response that it was an arbitrary decision. Also, calling this guy "grinchy" to make it somehow cartoonish is oversimplifying the danger these present to real livelihoods. Think US employees and health insurance for them and their dependants being tied to employment, etc. Just hideous. Please put the whole thread back to the frontpage.
