Throughout history direct solicitation has served as a way to 1) get
interest in a subject, 2) get acknowledgement of a subject, and 3) get
action taken on a subject. (Though not necessarily all three of those).
It's why people protest in the streets against injustice-- it may be
futile for them, but it brings attention to the issue.

I deeply resent that. Win32 is native. Win64 is native. Talking about
64-bit in a 32-bit thread is not "hijacking" no matter what you or
Joanna believe. Now please quit making baseless accusations.
