wait--not this again.
first, let me say that i have no problem with the new feature. it's good even.
BUT:
what is the fucking problem with the fact that host researches his posts?
i really do not understand why he is not understood as an asset rather than as a problem. i really dont.
some of his research is remarkable--unlike anything else i have seen on the web--and it is closer to realtime in some cases than you often find--and if you think moving at that speed is easy, then you haven't tried it.
his posts are not perfect: but then again nothing is--but regardless of whatever trivial difficulties that some of the sources might raise (which are easily addressed with minimal work from you, reader) the fact is that what host does is really a considerable task and that this place is lucky to have him as part of the community.
what i see is a series of objections to host's politics that are being fobbed off as objections to the length of the posts.
i find that disengenuous.
if you really object to what host is doing, then assemble counter-posts: do the fucking research, invest some effort: dont whine about having to scroll. jesus christ.
sometimes i think that a real problem is that folk here really undervalue what this place DOES have. the recurrent attacks on host are a good example of this. and what is worse, there is NOTHING TO THEM.
