Re^7: Clean smoke-test install for Inline based modules using Inline::MakeMaker

FWIW, as Anonymous Monk I really dislike your usage of spoiler tags instead of readmore tags

Could you explain why?

I prefer spoilers to readmores because readmores expand automatically whenever anyone views the post.

For the casual viewer, this means they download and are forced to view a crap load of information they neither need nor want to view.
Anything posted after the readmore is pushed way down the screen, and in many cases will never be seen.

Spoilers on the other hand allow:

the viewer to read the entire post minus the long boring details without scrolling.
The casual viewer never needs download, much less read or have to skip over the content.
The interested viewer to take in the overall flow and gist of the post *before* choosing whether to view the details.

I cannot think of any purpose for which readmores are preferable to spoilers.

With the rise and rise of 'Social' network sites: 'Computers are making people easier to use everyday'

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

I prefer spoilers to readmores because readmores expand automatically whenever anyone view the post. This is the reason. I accept the spoiler tags in use of actual spoilers, but I haven't seen a real one in a long time. When I click on a node I wish to see it in full. Yeah, I guess my dislike stems from my extensive conditioning to click on a node title instead of readmore or spoiler link And it turns out I agree with your reasoning :) Thanks, I'll have to adjust my conditioning :)	[reply]
