Re: To anyone who desires a slowdown...

no, the users do NOT demand a rapidly changing web. At least, none of the users I have known.

It's the MARKETEERS and AD SLINGERS who demand it. "New Shiny" - right?

Most people get tired of the CONSTANT UPDATING very quickly, especially if they get throttled for excess cell phone bandwidth usage or have their windows workstations taken over by all-too-frequent updates for several hours (when they really needed to use their computers) a few times too many.

All that moving target updating and "New Shiny" is HIGHLY overrated. And I think nearly everybody KNOWS this.
