I've already posted evidence in this thread that bat wings were on that vendor as of 1/24/2000. I should think it now becomes the burden of whoever thinks they don't belong on that vendor to show archive evidence that they weren't on the vendors prior to that date.
Assuming the direction that was taken with the patch comes from this thread:
http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=9377
we just had a situation of:
"I don't recall them being there, dunno for sure."
*delete bat wings from vendor*
"Yes they were there."
"Well, prove it."
"But why didn't the guy who thought they weren't on the vendors have to prove it?"
I could be incorrect in my assumption as to how the decision to remove bat wings was made, of course.
