While I see how other people might’ve taken your question as interrogatory, I personally didn’t even think of that possibility until eyelidlessness pointed that out. I appreciate that eyelidlessness answered your question for me before I got around to researching CSS. It’s good to know for the future I should explain the reasoning behind my design choices in the concept intro.
Thank you for the explanation, praise, and social lesson! I wasn't looking forward to researching a different language to answer Solvency's question.

One of my challenges when it comes to autism is I accidentally ask interrogatory or aggressive questions when I'm genuinely curious about someone else's reasoning and trust they know what they're doing. Would "I'm wondering why you made design choice x because I thought design choice y would be a better option because I thought y is better for these reasons" be a good way to ask what the reasoning is?

Thank you.
Make sense!
Thank you. I'm happy to provoke nostalgia.
Thank you and I really appreciate userscripts too. While I'm taking a break from userscripts to make my website on Val Town, I only handled the main problems of my two primary forums. I'm sure I'm going to at least make versions of what I have for my other forums and new userscripts to improve their forum searches.

Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you. I agree it's definitely useful to learn enough programming to solve personal problems. I'm impressed with how user-friendly Multics Emacs is. I think it's cool how you single-handedly thwarted Symbolic. It shows your strong moral fiber to stand up against them.
Thank you.
Thank you.

I’d really appreciate your feedback and encouragement!This project lets me solve some of my OCD problems online. There are a couple of parts of the forums that I visit – Space Battles, Sufficient Velocity, and Questionable Questing – that I want to remove. Specifically, I hate...
