Comment (by theBlackDragon):

 To me it appears morelike you are not even considering the arguments being
 made and with that assuming that everybody uses the application in the way
 you envision, which is simply not the case.

 Firstly, you presume in your counterarguments that everybody uses the
 expand feature while I know a lot of people that don't use it, some don't
 know about it, some actively dislike it. I'd even go further, I'm pretty
 sure about 50% of your users don't use it, if not more.

 For example, the filetransfer argument was pretty valid if you ask me, why
 would you have to jump through hoops if you can see something in one
 eyelash? This same argument goes for user profiles, a person might have
 one for one protocol but not for another.

 The same is true for the collegue at work/not at work issue, why would you
 suddenly have to click if you could just see it in the past?

 So can't we live without it? No. But then again, I can live without X too,
 but it would make a lot of things more cumbersome, the same goes for this
 change.
