Re: Levels of Monks: missing a row [Clarification]

I've reread what I wrote several times.
It is completely beyond me how this resulted in the posts that followed,
which included words and phrases such as "imbalance", "patch", "re-open old wounds", and so on.
By way of clarification,
here's the steps I went through yesterday afternoon [my timezone: UTC+11:00] which led to my post:
-
I was looking at "Voting/Experience System".
-
In the section "What levels are there and how many votes do they get?",
there's a table with the title "Monk Level Summary".
-
This table shows levels 1 to 29.
-
After the table is: "See Levels of Monks for more detail." — I followed that link.
-
"Levels of Monks" has a table which shows levels 1 to 28.
-
I checked in "Saints in our Book".
Here I saw three entries with "Patriarch (28)" and one with "His Eminence (29)".
-
I went back and checked all the names and numbers in the two tables
in "Voting/Experience System" and "Levels of Monks".
These aligned perfectly except that "Levels of Monks" was missing a final row for Level 29.
-
I posted this discrepancy and included what I believed the missing row show should be.
I was rather expecting a single reply, possibly from someone in the SiteDocClan cabal,
containing text along the lines of:
"Well spotted. I've added the missing row. Thanks."
Perhaps that can still happen. :-)

> . It is completely beyond me how this resulted in the posts that followed,
It's kind of a regression bug after replacing "pope" and referencing the source context might help the maintainer fixing the resulting problem. Probably other structures in the monastery are implicated too.
It might also be interesting for outsiders. A thread is read by hundreds of people after all.

Here is the context of the change, which caused the imbalance

FWIW: I tried to patch it, but it's above my possibilities as pmdev

I could be wrong, but I have a feeling kcott knew all about that link (and other history of the Perl Monks Level system)
... but was reluctant to re-open old wounds. :)

I'm sure he does, at least did he also participate in the linked thread.
I just have the - irritating for some - tendency to add more context to a thread, without meaning to reply directly to the previous monk.
