More precisely, the blue bar.  It's not clear whether they are like text links, where you have to hit the text, or whether they are buttons, with a region around the text that responds to the input.

Please!  If I like Cadillacs and you think they're junk, if you drive a Lexus and I woildn't take one if you paid me, it doesn't mean that we each think the other is only worth his worthless taste in cars.

There are people like that, of course.  The polite word for them is 'fanatics'.  But I'm pretty sure none of us want to be that way, and just about as sure that none of us is that way.

And yet flamewars occur between good people, because we read first slants and then slights, where none was intended.  And we feel the need to correct things that we would tolerate, would not even notice, were we not deeply invested in the debate--that was never meant to be a debate.

FWIW, I started in online forums in 1981.  I've seen these, and yes, been guilty of them.

Yestereve I used the 'paste from Wurd' option with my ODT file.  It worked much better than last time.  The only formatting glitch was that the fleuron lines came through left-justified instead of centered, and that might be a deliberate choice to feed downstream services.  (I was using Chrome.)

Okay, I've done an edit pass over that chapter, called The Observatory.  It's now sitting in Book II.  Amy, I'd really like to know if you like the power moments.

Not the release, but the same oath from at least a couple of the master guards.

How are we coming with the chapter reordering glitch?

The term I was looking for is 'establishing shot'.

Also, when Tazar leaves, some people will be losing their protector.  Someone should realize it.  The rough-born and Behira-guided Alda might be the one, or Tazar himself might speak.  If the Lance has any influence with the guards, it might be spent here.

I hope I didn't suggest that an inline review is valueless.  It is harder to read and use and I do ask/my reviewers to avoid them.

In fairness, there are some authors who request nitting.

Different authors ask for or need different things.  Different reviewers have different skills to bring.  Do we make use of it or fight it?

And some of us can simply read things better when we don't have to play point-and-click peek-a-boo with someone else's message.

I'm with JTP here.  Not reading previous comments may help to make fresh reviews, but when discussing or advocating policy it keeps discussions cycling around first impressions rather than developing better positions and suggestions.

When I have Erevain's episode in better shape, you can tell me how much better I'm doing.
