Bullados, I was just about to edit my post a bit, but it's probably better to just say it separately.
I’m sorry if it sounded like I was criticizing your work as the moderator of that section at the time. It was not my intent to do so. Bullados, I will never ever say that you did a bad job as the moderator of the front page articles.
Even at the time I fully understood WHAT you wanted to do and WHY. I thought then, and still think, that it was a laudable aim. It's just that my article was huge and thus editing it was a lot of work ... simply writing the thing took a lot more time and effort than I expected when I started. I had expected that some edits would be needed, it's just that I hadn't anticipated having to do so much re-writing. I think, that had I better understood ahead of time what I was in for, it wouldn't have been so stressful for me ... my mental preparation would have been different. I don’t blame you or the gym for that either.
I like the way things are done now, but I’ll be the first to admit that there have been tradeoffs in making it that way. With the FP having less in the way of enforcement of standards regarding readability for new players and parents it’s lost some of the distinction it once had from the deck help area, and it’s lead to the issue that prompted RA’s creation of this thread.
