:::I just noticed that you did give a heading to this discussion, but that you misplaced it, above the introductory information.  Therefore, I am combining your heading ("Thank you!") with the one which I composed, and which I discussed above at .  On the matter of terseness versus wordiness, I need to consider specific instances separately.  If, by "point-initial bolded themes", you mean boldface text such as "Seasons" under WP:MOS#Calendar items, then of course they are an aid to navigation, and I am surprised that someone would find such a thing to be objectionable.
