Actually, I am pretty sure it is a matter of self-discipline.
On GitHub, an issue can be closed as a duplicate, on MobileRead a thread can be closed or merged... no limitations of the "generic" forum software... but if people continue to post mentions in other threads or issues, what do you do?
The fact that you continue to insist you believe in the "one issue per thread" paradigm, while at the same time going ahead and posting comments to irrelevant threads (e.g. this one here), tells me that you are being a hypocrite.
And yes, it is an irrelevant thread. kguil did not claim to have "fixed" the ideology behind the pagenumber calculations, he claimed a fix for what I can only assume is pagenumbers being calculated in a manner that failed to conform to any sane calculation at all (even, and specifically, the one Marvin was intended to display).
In other words, those "exactly 5 lines of text, as brief as I could make them" are exactly what I mean when I say "[j]umping around from thread to thread and derailing them all in an attempt to make the issue look bigger than it is".
And therefore, yes, I was talking to you in my previous post.
I hope this has cleared things up for you.
...
The Marvin forum has four moderators, one of which is kguil and the other three of which are not active members (GRiker is permanently retired from MobileRead, he may in theory return one day but I wouldn't suggest planning on it, Philantrop and MeSue are infrequent posters one of whom has not been seen in over a year).
Perhaps there are valued,
active members of the Marvin subforum who are willing to take on the responsibilities of being a Marvin moderator?
...
Regardless, I hardly need to be a moderator in order to have the right to speak my mind and express my opinions on other members' posts.
If you feel I am "constantly berat[ing] other MobileRead users", well, have you considered the fact that you may be constantly complaining about the exact same thing, in inappropriate locations?
Of course, if you would rather just think I am going berserk, I cannot stop you...
