I agree. There's a guy at the KDP forums who is all over the important modifier. He claims it fixes everything this side of old age and wrinkles. I'd starting going down the road of getting into a pissing match with him...and then decided screw it, it's not worth it. Tex saw that thread. (Don't get me started on how he blithely tells them all NOT TO USE heading classes for headings, but to use paragraph classes, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.)

Anyway, I was wondering if I was being old and cranky (forebear from the obvious comeback on this, gang) in particular about this topic. My gang of merry bookmakers knows that I want them to try EVERYTHING other than important...and if you ask me why, I'm not sure I have a great answer, other than...seems like a cop-out shortcut. {shrug}
