Why being so negative?  Got up on the wrong side of the bed?

People drop off of a discussion for different reasons, and it is not necessarily from total lack of interest (unless nobody responded to the initial call-for-discussion, obviously). Perhaps there were more interesting and/or pressing thing for them to think about than interaction between decorate and pretty=format at the same time.

This time around, the original requestor may be more motivated and/or have time for this topic than you were motivated and/or you had time back then, and can carry the discussion forward. Let's see what happens.
