Well, that's a cheerful attitude! :-)

It was constructive criticism; no need to respond like that.

On the flip side, I don't like the way that Vae Victis sometimes trims articles, either. Too many cuts makes it disjointed and unappealing. I think we could use some trimming guidelines that limit the number of pieces in the trimmed text to maybe four.

Unfortunately, the "best" trimming is something that will often be a matter of personal preference, so if we could find a way to avoid the issue altogether (and consequently free up energy to spend on actually adding and organizing and understanding information), that would be best. (Unlikely, but one can hope.)
