It's not sudden at all. It's just that one person (me) mentioned it and so others have joined in the conversation.
I can't believe you're actually debating a segue into a point. I wasn't actually asking this question, you know?
Sure, but my point was just that you seemed to be criticising people for a perfectly fair conversation.
Well you need to make your points clearer then because it didn't read that way. |

when I brought up this lack of confidence issue originally, you just said "It's just after when the site was hacked or whatever it was. One never knows what might happen."
Sure, that's what made me paranoid about it (as I admitted). I realise that you find things like servers interesting, but I really don't and had never given it any thought before. So even if the server is now more secure, my fear has been awoken. |

BTW, I don't appreciate how you've contorted this thread. It began innocuously enough as about the new design and now even the title's been modified to say it's also about exporting reviews.
The place for the exporting reviews suggestion is in Site Features. Please discuss this there whilst I rename this thread back.
I haven't 'contorted' the thread: it has diverged naturally. If a thread diverges into another significant area, it's totally appropriate to rename it for clarity.
No one, literally no one, on this site is as careful about putting threads in the correct sections and putting posts in the right threads as I am. I'm therefore upset that you choose to make that point against me rather than all the serial offenders on that front. |

Right back at ya.
Um... which points am I not making clear enough for you? |

Nothing now, but when you threw around "obsession all of a sudden". |

This pointless little exchange is very visually striking, at least.  |

That wasn't a point- it was the lead up to the point. The pre-point. The "here comes my point". As you well know, because we discussed this only a short while ago.
Thank Christ I didn't begin my sentence with "Now then..."- we'd no doubt be debating if I was referring to "now" or "then" right now. |

So... can I interest you in a new design... perhaps, something in shades of turquoise? Maybe some golden accents here and there, with a touch of metallic gray?

The point is that it set a tone of dismissal towards people's thoughts. You may not have literally meant that people had suddenly thought of it (though your comments elsewhere that no one had ever wanted this before meant that you might well have done), but metaphorically presenting it as a sudden whim means that you literally thought it was unimportant and baseless. |

Then that's your point not my point. I wasn't making a point at that point, so your point that you didn't get my point was actually pointless. |

| BTW, since you're incapable of filing or splitting off discussions where appropriate, I've kindly set up a separate thread on the export idea in the correct forum. |

No, that's great thanks. I've got everything I need right there.
