For a moment there I was trying really hard to understand what he was complaining about. His post made very little sense to me as it was written. I guess because I haven't even come close to experiencing his "problem".
Especially since I looked over the pull request he mentions and the explanation as to why href="#" is used is right there in front of his face.
Plus, what's with all the hate for href="#"? Are some people so anal about their code they can't leave one simple little thing in place that makes life easier for them?
