Sorry I haven’t been around. I needed to take a break. I tend to get too involved, you know, like the parent who is “coaching” a bit too fervently from the sidelines during a game … that’s completely my bad, not y’alls. 💕 As for as the name `@` mentioning issue, I suggest it would be much easier to process that feedback if it was in a distinct topic in the #site-feedback category?

Ultimately what matters to me, and what we strive to encourage in the Discourse software, is aggregate community happiness.
