There's no need for that. I read most of the archives of Durova's blog a month
or so ago. She managed to answer the question I was asking, and she did it
without insults or abuse.

However, that research suggested to me some higher-priority development targets
than optional sharpening, such as more efficient and less restricted scaling of
very large TIFFs and PNGs, and an increase in the maximum file size limit. 

The problem with optional sharpening, or indeed any feature that encourages
photographic PNGs, is that readers will then be sent a PNG thumbnail. We really
want to send them a JPEG unless they specifically ask for a lossless image.
With the present feature set, it would be better for all concerned if you could
take the time to upload a copy of the image in JPEG format, with a link to the
PNG or TIFF in the other_versions parameter, and then encourage the use of the
JPEG in articles.
