    I said nothing about wasting money. I said that government should not spend more money than they have.

    Always been like that.
    It's not always been like that, though - I have had a few reviews done which don't add the disclaimer. I wonder if it's since Dragonfly, or maybe it's just been missing from some of my other reviews...

    Not sure, I'd say it makes sense to avoid giving straight answer every time it's asked - this way they'll spend all their time (and taxpayers money) helping people enrich themselves by robbing the taxpayers.
