Well, this is not an insult to you, just an assessment. Numerous other
people stated the new design is just fine for them. There are a handful of
people who do not like it, and I stated very clearly that I am committed to
find a solution for everybody.

You wrote on the ticket, that it is basically the timestamps on the edit
notes, so... what is this but sparingly?

I don't comment on that, it might be easily taken as an insult.

This is a childish remark, since I explained it to you. There is a default
behaviour to pick the first button from the DOM order if a form is submitted
by the use of the enter key when submitting a form. Therefore I placed the
button which performs this action as the first button. I learned only
recently that it can be changed using a css tweak, which I already commited
tonight.

Funny, that you feel insulted, when you and a handful of people keep
criticizing my work in a non-constructive manner. More interesting, that you
just started to do that when it was about a month (blog post: june 8th 2006)
after I called for testing and we were about to do the server release.
