Except when I have come across a thread by browsing or searching, I only respond to threads when I receive an email notification that a reply has been made to a thread, and seeing I received no such email, I never saw the post you kindly linked for me. Thankfully, I received an email reply when you posted in this thread, and that is how I found the other thread. I will continue to reply in that other thread as I bug test the app.

Let us put our disagreement to rest, once and for all. In a nutshell, the jabs began when your feathers were obviously ruffled in another thread by my having expanded (on-topic) the original thread you started. Without sending me a PM to express your grievance, you publicly claimed that I hijacked your thread. I continue to disagree with that assessment profoundly. Had I spoke about the merits of Johnson and Johnson baby shampoo and garnered numerous posts from others on that totally off-topic subject, then you would have been more than justified in saying I had hijacked your thread by speaking on such an absurd topic. But in fact, the title of that thread is BASE CONVERSION, and indeed that is how I found it using the SEARCH feature of this forum and is why I posted to it. So even if one argues I expanded the discussion, I was still on-topic with regards BASE CONVERSION. Whether I "shifted ground toward ease of use" is utterly irrelevant in that such ease of use pertained exclusively to BASE CONVERSION. For what it's worth, you suggested I started a new thread and I did. Now even after reading my words here, I doubt I will have converted you to my way of thinking when it comes to thread hijacking, but that's okay since we focused on numeric BASE conversion. :-)

Indeed, but such is not exclusive to me nor centered on me. That other thread was posted in a public forum without any dedication to me, and I am pleased by that, seeing it is for the public good. It's a wonderful app that should be on every Prime. May it please Prime users the world 'round! And thank you again for alerting myself and everyone else here about it. I certainly appreciate that.

Happy to bring to rest. I think your fascinating post makes my case much more profoundly than I ever could!
