A fairly good analogy - IF the shoes get comfortable in a short period of time! (like half an hour)
I learned a long time ago - if they (new shoes) are uncomfortable and don't fit properly when I buy them- wearing them is only going to give me blisters and sore feet!
And it doesn't matter if the shoes are expensive or cheap! (I bought two pairs about five years ago that I "thought" were properly fitted - the sales rep convinced me that they were "right" - dumb me!!! - this was from a store that "specialized" in fitting problem feet) I KNEW better - hate it when I don't follow my first response!
As far as I know, the moderators had no voice or choice in the change to the new format. I think they have some input for some modifications, but I think the basic choices were "like it, learn to live with it, or leave it"
I am in the "trying to learn to live with it" category.
