You\'re being very hostile about a simple misunderstanding. I made my comment and last edit on the 3rd, a day before your last comment. I assumed the discussion page hit your watchlist like they\'re supposed to, and when I came back a dozen days later, you hadn\'t commented so I implemented my proposals. Nothing worth yelling or hostility. I did take it to discussion before editing, as timestamped, and as explained, I thought it would show up on watchlists so I didn\'t think to make note of it in the edit reason box.

\\\"...and a mysterious sneak attack does terrible damage to the Manticore system,\\\" could mean a whole lot of things, and nearly anything to someone not versed in the series. Just the loss of family could be considered terrible, without any of the infrastructure damage. Maybe \\\'to\\\' could be \\\'in\\\' to be even better. But like I say, I don\\\'t see how we can avoid mentioning the defining event of the book and call it a synopsis.
I poked around the four main pages on the search terms \\\'sneak\\\' The one entry that brought up for the sneak attack had only names spoilered, and still gives way more information than I propose. (After writing most of this I went back and searched \\\'oyster\\\' too, with similar results for all mentions except WhamEpisode.)
Lastly, it seems pretty arrogant to declare that my opinion does not matter because I have stated it. Does that also mean yours does not matter? If anyone else comments, do their opinions cease to matter? At any rate, you are not the only one who has followed these pages for years, though my contribution dropped off after the example sectioning, since I didn\\\'t update my watchlist. That\\\'s now rectified. I don\\\'t think anyone\\\'s length of observation is a reason to disregard their opinion.
