Post where? Here? Facebook?

Neither will be excluded here. We have a moderator, but he/she/it doesn't
moderate every submission to the list. Neither would be moderated on FB
except possibly to a moderated group.

The moderation here is exceedingly light-handed. We don't want to exclude
anyone from on-topic discussion. The problem with John was that he was a
broken record, saying the same thing over and over and over again until it
