If we expended only 10% of the effort devoted to off-topic threads to
OpenMPE or some remotely possible long-term objective, I think we'd have
this problem solved.

Not picking on Denys or anyone else in particular, but the last few
years have had a horrible signal/noise ratio.  Alas, I have no time to
moderate (I have exceeded my "hat wearing" quota already).  So I would
hope that the traditional self-policing (and self-restraint) could help.

We're passengers on the Titanic, deciding upon which piece the orchestra
will play next as we fall into the freezing waters.  Could we please
search for a lifeboat?  On the MPE issue, HP needs to ante-up, or fold
their hand.  You can't have it both ways.  And your bluff isn't fooling
anybody at this table.
