No, I don\'t mind. For Samuli\'s, Joseph\'s, and my images though, I would like to see something in between the original and new versions. The sharpening looks a touch harsh on my monitor (though maybe that\'s just recompression jpeg artifacts), but something in between would probably be just right for my taste.
I don\'t doubt that the images may look over-sharpened to some people on their respective output devices. This gets back to what I was saying in the other thread about PP & presentation. The processing has to be optimized for the resolution of the destination media.
I processed those photos to look ideal on my 20\" ViewSonic 8-bit panel with a resolution of 1680x1050. I suspect your MacBook screen has significantly lower resolution, which would make my images less suitable for your viewing. On top of that, my screen sits at least 2.5 feet from my eyes. I suspect yours is much closer.
When I look at these same images on my crappy Dell 6-bit panel at work, which has a lower resolution than my home panel (and is forced to dither up to 8-bit) I will find them \"oversharpened\" there as well.
