[totally aside from the mini 9 Q]:
It is unfortunate that a number of forum members will jump down anybody's throat at the first hint of jaywalking. In the old forum, those responses were just the cranky 2% of the more diverse spectrum heard; here w/fewer opinions to balance them, they hold sway in the threads more often.
I don't mind a well-considered reminder regarding ethics in a given situation, but I do not like to see offal flung as a knee-jerk reaction, especially when the flinger is misjudging the presumed innocent.
