Please do not take this the wrong way because I'm not at all trying to sound
like a pain in the but here. I am just not understanding the purpose for
renaming conversations. At least, why this would be a significant bug. I'm
happy they fixed the ability to turn on the Do Not Disturb feature for
conversations.
Yes, Jonathan's book is a great resource, and Anna's is as well. I highly
recommend them both as they are great people in this community.
