In all fairness, this is probably a consequence of
RFA's culture of "must
use 100 percent edit summaries before passing"! People quite often write
entirely useless edit summaries, aided by the prompt in Preferences,
simply to pass RFA. I know I did. Post RFA, however, I realized that
updating articles with edit summaries such as "+info" is beyond banal, so
I turned the damn prompt off. Now most of my real contributions are without
edit summaries. This is, I think, a good thing. Tasting the forbidden fruit
labelled "No edit summary" keeps Wikipedia exciting.
Hehehe. You know, I made a subconscious decision at one point, that if
it took more time to think of a decent summary than to make the actual
edit, it was a step worth skipping.
