Will you and bernie please talk to each other, and sort this out without flags? As there simply are no winners in a flag war, and as I respect you both for very different reasons, I do not like seeing you try to destroy each other, not when you both give a lot to the community in different ways.
It is good to talk, and I am sure you could work it out that way, without the need of a long drawn out flag war. (just a thought)
