I’m with you. Double spaced much easier to read!
I appreciate the effort, choie, but I could remake the previous OP in about two minutes using the edit history function. The issue here is that I don’t think it’s necessary and that the bothers me a little. In the interest of honesty I’ll admit “you need to look at it from the user’s point of view” was kind of galling. I’ll ask the other mods if they think this is a necessary improvement.
In other words, “Sure we could do this minor thing that would take little to no effort, but I thought your attitude was snotty in the way you asked, so go jump.”
No, Krav Manga, the words in my post say something different. So perhaps let’s stick to those.
I think the issue is “Six weeks ago, I was asked to do a difficult and time-consuming thing. I quickly sat down and did it without complaint. Less than two months later, a group of people show up and start complaining about what I did. Almost immediately, they suggest that any concern I have are rooted in being lazy or uncaring, despite the fact that six weeks ago I sat down and spent considerable time reworking the thread. I quickly start to wonder if there is any point in making the change, or if its really impossible for any amount of time or effort to keep people happy. However, I do admit that my emotional response to having all my earlier hard work disparaged and my motives so quickly questioned may well be coloring my response; I am conceding this so that the population will know I am evaluating and correcting for that emotional response”
It was not intended to be. I apologise.
Which is why I’m suggesting a compromise/hybrid. Those of us to prefer to read the list without having to scroll will be happy, and those who want to be notified will be happy.
