:::: You obviously didn't read or even consider this task's author (Tobega) response (above). Just because you have a different opinion of readability, doesn't give you the right to resort to name calling and offending other people who differ from your opinion as liars. It is this sort of toxic verbiage that can give Rosetta Code a bad name for visitors/contributors to this site. I believe that people who hide behind pseudonyms can/will often behave and act like there're no consequences to egregious words and infantile actions. I prefer to not have to have a discourse with someone who is so uncivil and uncourteous, and who cannot behave oneself on Rosetta Code. I'm asking you to please have some maturity and reconsider before you post anything offensive here on this site. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:56, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
:::::I find it equally offensive to modify the typography systematically without asking (this task is the exception, not the rule). This kind of modification might be widely approved by the community, I don't know: I gave you my opinion, but I'd be open to another consensus, granted it's a consensus. The problem is, it should have been discussed ''before'' doing it everywhere. And as far as I can tell, you never asked. My problem is not that your opinion differ, but that you imposed it to everyone without discussing the matter beforehand. I called you a liar because you used an example to justify your edits, which obviously does not hold: either you didn't even check, either you are a liar. It's a fact. It's offensive? But it's equally offensive to have to read your fallacies. So, the situation is this: you believe your edits make the site better, and I don't. You modified the site on a large scale, and I didn't. Period.<br/>Oh, and by the way, my name is written on my user page, and if it's not clear enough it's not difficult to find it. But I guess you didn't try, you were so occupied being "offended".

Best not to call fellow members of the community liars so quickly even if you think someone may be factually incorrect as it can very quickly sour any conversation. On the rewording, I read the original, the change, and the acceptance from the original author. I too like the change, but if I did not like it, I hope I'd try harder to make my point without using such a term as it has a lot of emotional baggage. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 18:29, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
: Thanks a lot for your level-headed comments, Paddy. I was beginning to feel like a pair of brown shoes at a tuxedo party. I would go even further, it is best to ''never'' call other people liars, at least, not is such a public forum. I never thought anyone would go down that particular rabbit hole so quickly and use such spiteful and/or libelous language. One would think that adding whitespace to a task's preamble (and other forms of highlighting) was akin to leprosy or some such. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 22:19, 11 February 2020 (UTC)
:Point taken. For the record, I strongly prefer well established typography rules. [[User:Eoraptor|Eoraptor]] ([[User talk:Eoraptor|talk]]) 18:46, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

:Thank you for mentioning this. It was just the hint I needed. :-)<br><br>I have put a description of the algorithm in the Quackery task solution. If you are able, please double check it. I have gone over it a dozen times but can't shake that nagging feeling that I might have got the "less than"s and "greater than"s muddled.<br>--[[User:GordonCharlton|GordonCharlton]] ([[User talk:GordonCharlton|talk]]) 11:58, 1 November 2022 (UTC)
