As i mentioned in the OP the newsgroups direct links seem finicky, you can go to
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.g...topics?lnk=srg and search "/wave mana cap" and read the full thread, is more than just that snippet in there.
I'll try linking it again here:

I find newsgroups links are best used in a computer browser (I use Chrome) and not on a mobile device.
Also if you search like 4 posts down on the front page I posted the original dev comments, here is that link again:

I'm not click baiting at all, just going off what I'm seeing. I'm also not being childish in defending 'imaginary numbers', I'm being quite logical.
