Oh hey, that's my post.Don't expect this to get much discussion, but hopefully it's useful!

hi! author here! selfishly, it'd be really useful to me if you could take a moment to elaborate on your thinking here. it's not an altogether-too-too-uncommon viewpoint and I'd like to understand it if you have a chance.

I'm quite curious to see what you would have to say! If you do this, please consider commenting again here so I can find it.

Thanks for the feedback! I didn't know if anyone would be interested in my personal experience.

Hi everyone, I'm the author. I'm curious what others think about this. I'm not sure if I'm the only one who feels that it's a problem so let me know if you have something to add or correct.

Your post will be more interesting if you share some of your reasoning.

Your other reply feels like it could be packaged up a bit and published somewhere!

Hey, I am the author of this. Fair point - I should've been more thoughtful. Will keep in mind :) Do let me know if you found it useful otherwise.
