Will_Newsome points out that we haven’t thanked you. Some of us have thought of listing changes they liked as well as changes they disliked, some of us have thought of correcting for bias against change, some of us have thought of simply not being jerks. But we haven’t thought of thanking you.
So, thanks. Thanks for making LW better. Thanks for working on new ideas even if you’ll get bitten if they’re bad and ignored if they’re good. Thanks for taking criticism into account. Thanks for being nice even when criticism isn’t of the form “Changes A through F rock, changes G and H are neutral, change I annoys me but that seems personal, change J was a bad idea, change K was good but change K’ would have been better”, but of the form “You suck”.

You’re awesome. Have some karma.
Thank you. That helps.
I’m working on collating opinion today, and we expect to be working on further changes and some reversions early next week.
