Like I said, bring these things up if you wish. But please be respectful of the fact that some people will disagree with you and other people won't see it as an important issue. Also respect the fact that people may want to discuss other things. I'm still a bit miffed that the 2.5.2 bugs and features thread, non-title bar edition, was hijacked because I was interested in learning about potential pitfalls of upgrading -- not because I wanted to stifle dissent. But it didn't work out that way. It didn't work out that way because certain voices were over powering other voices. Blocking those voices (using the feature we're not supposed to mention) didn't work out because there were still the replies to those powerful voices.

And what do you say about someone, not here that long, but not a newcomer either, opening a thread to not complain but make some quite relevant demands to kobo after the beresina of 2.5.2, and being told, not by the kobo rep but by members here, to refrain from such initiative and just post instead in a special thread, which now amounts to no less than 675 posts, and which, considering the less than stellar integration of those demands in the various upgrades, is either not read by, or used as the joke source for coffee breaks, kobo employees ?
I mean, seriously, it's Kafka at his best !!!
