Ok, I'll bite. I'm not angry at you for reporting a hard-to-find issue, it's the way your doing it that bothers me. Even now, you're writing long essays when I specifically stated that bug reports need to be concise!
And now, you're talking about a whole new issue here. An supposed issue which I knew nothing about until now, I'm afraid. While the game engine has not had any changes in a long time, we're working on changing that. First of all, I need hard data to support this theory that blank lineups perform better. Determining that would be a first step towards some changes. I'm sure you understand that we cannot make changes based just on your feeling.
