Fair enough. It is getting harder to tell from surface texture alone.

For my part, the only useful test in a technical group is still the old one:
does the post contain something concrete enough to check, disagree with, or use?
If yes, kick the tires. If no, killfile it and save the blood pressure.

That is also why I prefer small, boring topics like command checklists. They are
either useful, wrong, incomplete, or redundant. All four are more interesting
than arguing about vibes.
