As I validate the works you have proofread by Repplier, I have been adjusting your gap settings for lines such as this one. Just my own personal preference (not based on any technical considerations). I admit I would be loath to revert back to your settings in every instance where I have made changes, but I would be interested to know if you had any technical or other reason for your formatting or is it merely preference on your part as well.

 * Hi London. I do prefer it that way, thank you for enquiring as to why, although I'm not sure why you are; maybe just alerting me to the change? I am sure your preferences are founded on careful consideration, and they have already asserted been over mine with the note that it isn't going to be changed back willingly. As I remember, and without checking again, a six em gap will not always be interpreted as three times two em gaps, that is, three times whatever 'gap' (a space, indent, tab, printers measure) when rendered. — CYGNIS INSIGNIS 21:42, 12 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks. The boring answer: Not for the purpose of alerting you to the change... I always assume you review your watchlist for trends... But you usually have a considered reason behind your formatting methods, even with minor issues (seemingly to me). Even if I don't revert my changes in this and previous Repplier works validated ('loath' but still open), I would consider leaving things as they are in future validation works, and perhaps applying it myself.
