Ha, well I actually just told him I was going to change it back, and he just shrugged and let it go. Which is funny because when I talked to him about it the other day he was pretty adamant about leaving it. Anyway, I really didn't want to jump through a bunch of hoops to accomplish it, so it works out that he just let it go.

The funny thing is, he's really not unskilled, he's pretty good at his job, problem is he knows it, and is very condescending and just very short with everyone. Thanks for the suggestions everyone, wish I could say I used them to come up with a cool solution, when really I just needed to deal with the human aspect. :-)
