I'm going to remain civil, as there is nothing to be gained from doing otherwise.
Another suggestion. If you are to make changes which are not up for discussion then perhaps don't create a thread about them. It might be better to use the "notice" feature, which simply informs users and allows them to acknowledge and then dismiss.
However you personally take my comments and suggestions, I am just trying to be helpful. I am not trying to be purposely annoying as you have stated is your intention. Surely it would just create more work for you to change the stock solution to annoy me which doesn't square with your comment that you are not willing to change stock solutions due to extra effort. It is saddening that the only reason that you would undertake this extra effort is to annoy me, rather than to benefit of your user-base.
Blimey,
Brogan. Now I give up. Perhaps some reflection is required from both ends of this "discussion". I don't have a naughty step to put you on, though, so I'll just fall in line.
