But that's all beside the point - we're not talking about a "general disclaimer." (I am intrigued by how blurry the lens you look at the world must be, if you live by that "#include <general_disclaimers>" nonsense) People interested in the blogger's rather specific Markdown use case would be better served by a more specific title, as would the nine out of ten Markdown users who are not.


No, I was just recommending it to you since you seem to be perturbed. I just give people a general measure of grace in their writing and it all seems to work out fairly well. You can try that as well, if you like.


Your comment was quite condescending, and it's disingenuous of you to suggest otherwise. If this is all your idea of grace, I'd hate to see less than graceful.

By contrast, I was careful to criticize the title as clickbait, not the post, which is useful (or the book, which sounds genuinely interesting). I wasn't perturbed by the title. By your comments, sure, but that's your doing, not Hillel's.
