[mb-users] "Edit All" - Is it problematic to understand?

I think I used clear arguments for the things I am arguing for, and tried to
take the suggestions in and respond accordingly. As I wrote in the previous
mail, this is something I might have deficiencies in, or that I am currently
exhausted, and feel that my work is not valued enough, or if I just grown
tired of working my butt off, without getting much in return.

It could be that my presence on the mailing lists is too overwhelming, that
some think I'd like to steer MusicBrainz after my own ideas, but this is
certainly not what I intend. As I stated the other day, it just happened
that I was alone on this server release, I said It numerous time to involved
parties that I don't like to work alone - because I had to endure similar
reactions before when I had been working on the server.

One final remark: Could it just not be (as for instance Gecks stated) that
some people can better adjust to change, while others can't. Please reflect
on this, as I will do too, and give the "new" server interface (which hasn't
changed as much as some might make one believe) some more time, until you
can really say if its just one-self not coming to terms with it or if its
just a transition phase and all the discussions can be laughed at over a
beer (hopefully).

Thanks for Listening,

Certainly, one can never learn enough.

why didn't you say so before?

Does this mean that every ticket needs to be implemented like it says?
