in an abstract sense, I don't have to solve everything on my lonesome, do I? and I immediately proposed an example of "some way" below > > Perhaps what we should do is hold off on cropping an empty paragraph > > until the user makes another typing edit somewhere else.

I'm afraid it's a symptom of having an enormous thread and nobody bothering to update the subject line to make it half relevant to the post.. people don't want to read the archives coz there's too many messages to sift through. either accept some duplication or put up a banner saying, "if you don't read the archives, your input is unwelcome" and if more than one person suggests the same thing without being aware of each other, maybe it's a good idea?
