      Yes, that failure is the point. The research piles up, but it does not translate into mastery.

        That sounds about right to me. I don’t want moderators splitting a thread every time somebody mentions lunch. Technical answers benefit from cleaner threads more than purely social topics do.

          I like the simple rule. People can disagree strongly and still behave like adults. It should not require a committee, but apparently here we are.

            A little drift makes people feel like people.

              That sounds about right to me. A separate room would keep the general forum from becoming forty percent stance arguments.

                I still print some. Not many, but family photographs especially.

                A file is very good for storing a photograph and surprisingly bad at making anybody look at it again. I have boxes from thirty years ago that people still open. Nobody has ever asked to browse my backup drive after dinner.

                  Right, and I’d add one thing. I’d keep the threshold for deletion high. If two people are arguing hard but still answering each other, I would leave them alone.

                    Right, and I’d add one thing. I can think of several discussions that would fit there. Please don’t make people prove they know ten names before asking where to start.

                      I arrived a little after the doors opened, but congratulations. New place feels calm, which is not a small thing.
