[wp-docs] For the record; "codex menus" thread

[Bernard D. Tremblay]

Chris Jean pontificated thusly:

Here are the messages I wrote in this thread ... the stuff that supposedly gave
rise to "take your meds" ... not my reaction to that, note. The basis. Not the
response, but what Chris Jean depicts as the proximate cause.

I made no judgments, I posted 2 screenshots to buttress the discussion, and I
threw no shit.
But that's not good enough for the the sophists.

*shrug*
Personality politics and mind games ...
... "same as it ever was".

No need to list them.

But no, I see a perfectly fine left sidebar.

Here's a screenshot of RecentChanges after I logged out:

I see a left SideBar ...
... and note that the ToC is, well, *cough* sub-optimal.

You don't say.

Sooooo I musta been in the grips of some profound delusion when I made those
screenshots, saved those screenshots, uploaded those screenshots, and posted
about those screenshots.

OpenSource projects leave me feeling schizophrenic.
And I ain't.
(Gawd, the early days of Mozilla were like end-to-end horror movies.)

p.s. Don't worry about me; all I do is bring back memories SigInt / NORAD/SAC /
MilSpec and I feel right as rain again.
