Yeah I thought about the implicit content and didn’t think there was any problem (which is why I didn’t downvote).
It’s always a little hard to pin down what rubs the wrong way about tone. But if I have a go, I guess I pick out two things:
not referring back to the fact that the suggestion you were making was kind of in the original post;
the second sentence sounds slightly patronising, in the context of a thread where all the suggestions are meant to be things the posters think could make a big difference.
Either of those on its own seems fine (if not ideal), but in combination it felt a bit patronising.

OK thanks, that’s helpful to know :)
