You want someone to “notice” you, yet when someone does you want to drop it? When I ask you for an actual example of changes (even ONE change), or even something tangible as a starting point, you don’t, or can’t? I assume, as AS might, that you don’t have anything specific, or that you realize you are being petty. When I ask you to elaborate when you’ve pluralized (dramatized) a word or left an “etc”, you either don’t, or as in the case of your
Misleading headings in the forums, when I asked about your specifying “heading
s”, indicating that there is more than one, you defended it by suggesting that the “Items Wanted” forum should be deleted – a forum that you post to frequently. When I see your elaboration on something as simple as “heading
s”, I begin to wonder if you haven’t become desperate. I’m beginning to believe that you realize that if your “hates” are examined, you’re afraid you’ll reveal just how inconsequential this list of yours is.

Yet, over the years you’ve devoted a good amount of time “on it”. You have beat on these issues, as you have beat on the lack of respect you get from AS support. It’s not like you’re going to stop bringing them up. You brought them up on the forum so as to give you a public venue in either the hope that you could sway others into thinking these “hates” of yours had merit, or because you just like to gripe. Since you have decided to continually assault AS (their software and staff) on this forum, then if your “hates” have merit you should be willing to discuss/debate these “hates” on the same medium that you have elected to air them on. If AS, as you say, isn’t going to ever “notice” you, then why the continued complaining? If you can spend so much time bringing up your “hates” on this forum, then can’t you spend a
small percentage of that amount of time providing meaningful examples of your thoughts? I already
publicly dropped debating an item on your list, but why are you not willing to do likewise? Do you think it will make you look bad? Do you think running away makes a better case?
Do you really expect AS to take “notice” of you, if the only energy you put into this is to complain – without anything concrete?
I’m quite content to continue this as a solo examination of your “hates”. If it’s to be a soliloquy - so be it. But, with your involvement, there should be a chance that you can make some good arguments, which is the same as saying there’s a chance AS will then change one or more of your “hates” to a “love”. There’s also the chance that the further we explore your “hates”, the more it will be revealed that both you and them are petty. I’d like to find out which one it is?

What difference does it make if
AS asks you? Is this all about respect with you? Did AS not wag it’s tail every time you threw them one of your “hate” bones, and now you want them to
ask you to refine
your list. My dear boy, it’s your responsibility to make coherent arguments to AS to justify why your “pet hates” warrant them making changes that will impact ALL their users instead of viewing them as just
your “pet hates”.
Curious choice of words – “
pet hates”. People typically are fond of their “pets”, but not of their “hates” (love their pets; hate their hates). But, you’ve turn them into “pets”. Do you have names for them? Like is
Misleading headings called Sparky and
‘Forum’ tab called Ginger?
P.S. That’s a rhetorical attempt at comic relief, as I understand your meaning.quote:

AS are unlikely to be interested . . .
Why do you think they are not “interested”? Do you think that if an idea had merit, they won’t pursue it? Is it possible you’re getting “interested” in your ideas mistaken with their having “good judgment”?

Are you sure you're not on the AS payroll?
Curious question. Of course you’re being flippant, which if you do as much with the support staff as you do on the forum when discussing your “hates”, might be impacting their response(s) to you. But what makes this curious is that according to you, those on the AS payroll don’t “notice” you - definitely something you can’t accuse me of.

Possibly you’ve reversed the roles of humouror and humouree?
Again, R2 - Any chance you’ll pare down that list?
