| Dec 21, 2010 at 10:43 | comment | added | Hendrik Vogt | @Kevin: I'm sorry if my tone is becoming more exasperated. But honestly, if you knew from the very beginning that our arguments wouldn't convince you anyway, then I really feel that you intentionally wasted my time (with emphasis on if and feel). Moreover, I'm still waiting for a reason why neither of the 2 possibilities I proposed are acceptable. | |

| Dec 21, 2010 at 8:04 | comment | added | Hendrik Vogt | @Kevin: I did follow your suggestion and started a new meta thread. (You knew from the very beginning that there are only very few instances where this thing happened.) As you can see in the present thread, there is consensus that we neither need nor want the feature; noone can think of any use of it for tex.sx. I also have made my point why on tex.sx the feature can do harm. Andrew in his comment to my question has written it up very concisely and got 4 upvotes. I just don't see any reason for not turning the feature off, so please let me stop wasting my time and turn it off. | |

The vast majority of those questions either a) use <code> b) omit ! or c) are multiline <blockquote>. None of which would trigger the spoiler style. I found only 1 question (by hand, its possible I missed some) that would be affected if it were edited and saved.

minor fix

| Dec 20, 2010 at 13:44 | comment | added | Hendrik Vogt | Your observation about the posts before the feature introduction is interesting. OK, I found two more among those 27; and three more where for some reason there was no "!". | |
