I just wanted to make a note that after using the new smooth scrolling feature in Bloglines for the weekend, I’ve decided that I actually enjoy it for the most part, with occasional exceptions. My only beef is that I’d like it to scroll slightly more quickly (which Ben assures me is on the table for discussion as a feature addition), and I’d like the bug to be fixed where feeds with no title take 3 hotkey presses to move past. I understand that fix has already been coded and is currently in QA’s hands.
Of course, I have to admit I was more willing to give it a second chance after being personally contacted by the person who wrote it – it’s amazing what personal contact can do – but I believe I would have eventually come to this same conclusion regardless; it really is an upgrade.
Just wanted to set the record straight.

It’s cool that you heard back from Ben, but man I still don’t like this feature. Hope they make it optional.
