Endless gibbering about a minor point in a reader software likely due to be replaced as they're working on a new standard, when there are larger issues at hand seems pointless, and maybe a bit much when thread after thread is infected with it even after posters are asked to desist. All the commotion over a single line title displayed in a space Kobo apparently wishes to reserve for a menu line. The end result, no title display and no more lines of text on the display! Whoops, they did add one at the bottom where most failed to notice it missing despite being so wound up over wasted space.
Would someone look up phyrric victory in the dictionary? Asking for the option might have been the only sensible course. I'm reading a 4500 page collection and would dearly benefit from seeing chapter titles, which are really individual story titles, displayed, but I'm not lobbying for that. I can use the TOC to find what I need.
By the way, it was not directed at any one person, in any way shape or form, but if it resonates, one might do well to dwell on it for a bit. My apologies to anyone actually diagnosed with OCD, but my disdain in equal measure for the self diagnosed not possessing medical degrees.
By the way, if you're going to quote me, I'd appreciate very much that you quote the entire thought or paragraph written.

All I am asking is that people play the ball, not the person. People who are disgruntled about a feature change are talking about the device and its software. Some people (one person?) may have done this out of place, and that's been dealt with. (Over and over and over!)
Speculation about mobilereaders' mental health issues is, in my opinion, unnecessarily personal and out of bounds.
For the record, I don't have OCD, self diagnosed or otherwise, but I am in possession of a medical degree.
