Re: revoting on changed user stories

I was trying to stay out of this conversation but Melvin, it really is not
a change. If I had a recipe for a chocolate cake and changed the title to a
coffee cake, anyone following the recipe will still make a chocolate cake.
The implementation is wholeheartedly based on the description. Maybe you
would change your naming conventions in the implementation, but it would
still do the exactly the same thing either way.

I really don't think it is worth wasting your effort trying to argue
against this, you are doing great work with the implementation so it would
be great to see how that turns out.

Thanks,
Shane
