It seems highly unnecessary to swear at the guy for a problem that -
1. Your solution ends with "problem minimized"
2. His post states varying angles on the hill
3. Is entirely possible there's no choice - from time to time I'm putting a great deal of tension on the chain and derailler because I've run out of gears on my road bike. That may or may not apply I suppose, but I've ended up in the slightly wrong gear sometimes - it's just a fact of biking.
