The above is what I posted, that started all of this.
Please take note of how I deliberately avoiding calling out any posters by name.
bkox assumed it was directed at him - presumably because I posted in response to his post, which said:
... in response to this post:
So, OK, I probably should have said something more like "Everybody needs to slow down and not try to post constantly, all at the same time," rather than "This is not a competition. Breathe." Mea culpa for that. But I very deliberately did not mention bkox, or any other poster by name - either in that first response to the problem, or subsequently, when I was looking at a list of board emails sent and skipped, and could easily have directed a "please change your notification settings" to specific posters. I did not want to call out individual posters, for doing things unintentionally that seemed to be contributing to the problem. I'll call out individuals for deliberate bad behavior, but (hopefully) not for things that just happen.
I had no intention of saying that bkox was the source of the board's struggles, and I'm sorry if he thought that was the case.
