I've put an underlined sentence similar messages since our first
campaign, based on learnings from Wikimedia:

Search for "examples of incremental" on:
https://foundation.wikimedia.org/wiki/2016-2017_Fundraising_Report

And it's the first time someone complains to me about it. Maybe because
this one is shorter than usual.

I think that attracting the eye to the section is precisely the point here.

I've removed it from my feature branch but if you feel different about
it now, please let me know or revert 9b5494c1a2.

I think it's becoming more and more as true as years go by and it adds
some stress to the sentence. But I also removed it for now.

At some point we might have a way of evaluation the impact of such small
changes like Wikimedia does :)
