Mobile LC Apps Downloading Stacks After installation

[Mike Kerner]

That's not what I'm saying.  What I'm saying is while telling everyone to
control themselves is good, removing these capabilities from LC is bad, so
if the time comes where it is necessary to do something to stop someone
from behaving badly, please make sure we have a switch in place that allows
the rest of us to continue as-is.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
