Michael, I know you're not this obtuse, so there must be something we are not understanding about each other's stance.
You know, it's like you're deliberately trying to make me angry!
Sweeping it under the carpet is exactly what you are promoting here.
Maybe it is the word sweeping.
"Sweeping it away" means deleting to me.
Are you intentionally misquoting me and thinking no one will notice. "Sweeping under the carpet/rug" is what I said. Putting out of view.
I am most definitely NOT advocating that. (And no one I've seen has been.)
It appears the opposite.
I am advocating MOVING the file so that it is not the first thing someone sees when they do a search for that text. The easiest way to do that is to move it into the OLD directory. It is what it was created for. It is still there for anyone interested in PG history, but it doesn't confuse the average user who just wants to be able to read the e-book.
I'm find with changes "so that it is not the first thing someone sees when they do a search for that text." I am NOT fine with sweeping it out of the normal directory. You can do that when there is no one left to remember the issue, or you can try to help them remember the issue, because it IS going to come up again.
It this were the case, lots of people would have complained by now.
You are insiders. . .you have a distinctly different viewpoint.
It is well known that when people are searching the web, if they don't understand something, they are FAR more likely to just click away and never return. For every one person that complains, you'll have hundreds, if not thousands, that just clicked away never to return.
I get messages all the time about things to improve, this has never been one of them. . .not even once. When we get ONE message we consider it. Even if we only get one per year, it is still considered, but it is not considered as the kind of major issue you want it to be. Change the search so it is last. Change the comments about not downloading it unless you have a Folio View. Please add a remark that there used to be a free viewer but that Folio changed its mind, just and any other company might do, such as Adobe about .pdf files. . .and I will be MORE than happy for you, and for me. Good enough for now? Thanks for coming a bit in my direction! Michael PS I hope you will also thank me for moving in your direction.
