You misunderstand me. I am amazed by the author's attention to robust protocol design. No one wants to be "that person" who observes a missing space before an open parenthesis, so usually smoothing out flawless work is not a collaborative process.

I found myself daydreaming how blogs would work if the author turned their brilliant attention to the process of blogging itself. They would solve such a problem, to encourage collaboration.

I was therefore stunned to see a "Fix Typo" link at the bottom. Perhaps this has become widespread, but I'd never noticed it before, and the logic of having this author provide such a link amazed me.

Part of what we do in comments is appreciate various aspects of a work. I was appreciating this aspect of this work.



Ah I did misunderstand, my mistake :)
