Well, do you have any solutions? We're waiting breathlessly.

One thing I like to do in writing comments is go back to the opening salvo and see if it will make the reader say "Oh, another smug asshole." Then, because the answer is usually "yes," I remove it. If I don't, I should not be surprised that my comment was ignored.

Happily, Medium has an Edit button for comments. I'll wait breathlessly for you to use it. Then, maybe, but, er, don't hold your breath, I'll read it.
