I don't want to do that either :) So let's hope it won't come to that.

At the beginning of the conversation, I said there were three things I wanted to get out of this discussion:

You have said you are going to try to do the first.

If you do, that will mean the second and third are resolved too.

You have helped me to understand the problem, and why you feel you need to ask for all changes to stop. Thank you for that.

In the end, you need to do more than just try, you need to do (think of Yoda ;)

I said above:

The same is true for your belief that just asking for change to stop might stop it. I know that it won't, it takes more than just asking. I'll talk more on this one later

The real problem is that you are asking for changes to stop because you don't like change. What is not a problem is asking for a change to stop because you think that specific change is causing problems. That means bugs, things that make it harder to use the site - any reason other than just "I don't like change"

So you need to stop just asking for all changes to be reversed, but you can write something like "please reverse this change because the chat box is laying over the images box" or other specific problems. That sort of problem can either be fixed, or that might be one of the cases where we do reverse a change.

I'm giving you the chance to try and succeed at stopping asking for changes to be reversed. If you do that, then I won't need to try those other remedies I mentioned above.

I've given you a lot to read again, and a lot to think about. I really hope this conversation has been useful and this problem will stop.
