Interesting, don't seeing that as purposeful with WM, not that it couldn't happen, I agree no need to be rude, and has already let opinion be known.
For something like this not suprising or new that it happens, 15-20 years ago spoke to someone who was designing for a product for a company, and said when is sent off, it is then changed for the CR reason, this product was sold thru a very large co. so they didn't always look as good as the original all were old patterns.
Hope it gets worked out for all involved. Her's are prettier.
