Idiots!

So, once again, the LJ design team screws up and chooses to ignore user protests.

While we will not be offering an option to switch back to the old version, I hope we can work together to make changes and improve what we now have. Please understand that we love you guys and admittedly, we sometimes do things without fully understanding what the community reaction will be.

In other words, "we screwed up, but we're not going to fix it because you experienced users aren't bringing in any advertising revenue compared to all those newbies who set up plus accounts."

Fortunately, there's a cure for this one:

   emacs -f lj-compose

(Install from the ljupdate home page).
