You really can't see why? Why people might want to raise issues

No. That'd be why I asked.

I sincerely do not understand the practice of going into a newsgroup,
asking broadly whether other people share one's interest in a new
feature or behavior change, and then trying to convince anyone who
doesn't share that interest or need how wrong they are.



You are not answering my question.

I answered the question you wrote, interpreted in the context in which
it was raised.

You seem not to countenance the possibility of someone
raising an issue, pursuing it to test it and to get one's
thinking better about it.

That's not what happens, though. What happens is what I described.

You seem to think that everyone who is
not absolutely practical is some sort of stirrer,

Nope.

everyone who has some concern should do something about it

In context, yes.

and not just talk about it,

No.

that every concern is some sort of red light emergency.

Absolutely not. I notice you've omitted part of my prior response:

"It seems to me that there's a difference between "jumping up and down
and pursuing every single thing to the nth degree" and taking ten
minutes to write a note to an application vendor requesting a feature."

How, please, is simply taking a few minutes to write to a software
developer with a feature request even vaguely similar to treating "every
concern as some sort of red light emergency?" Have we become so
disengaged, so pathetic at communication, that anything more involved
than SMS is a hardship and its use automatically implies panic or
urgency?



You seem not to understand that there may well be a fellowship
aspect to ngs where folk like talking to other humans and that
this is as important as "solving the problem".

Again, that's not when happens in these kinds of threads. People don't
talk "to" each other; they talk "at" each other far more often.
