Not sure which ones are that but I usually consider (some of) then plainer than vanilla

They're the complete opposite of the "here's to the crazy ones", they have neither wish not curiosity in how to make things better

I personally wouldn't draw all these conclusions from the email footer alone and I'd refrain from speculation as well. It's a footer at the end of the day, but that's me I guess.

Of course. It's an inconsequential footer and people have different priorities.

My comment was more in the sense that instead of a lack of taste it's more apathy, but it's way less serious than people are taking it

Quite the opposite, I make things better that strike me as being important. Things that aren’t don’t get attention.

Like the table manners of which of four forks are “correct” to use, many things I just don’t care to be “good” at and folks who do strike me as odd.

Nonsense. Plenty of people have curiousity in how to make things better but don't do it in ways that you would see.

Could be. Not all defaults need to be changed

But they also usually ignore contexts and only look at the small picture
