We need to have a serious conversation

[Maxmars]

If I may interject about this off-topic direction...

I always felt that the principle nature of the community is that it speaks of what it wants to speak of.  Those things will always echo... if not from the same user, from others... It would be a disservice to the community to restrict 'repetition' because it would imply that any other submission on another site "said it all."  There is no "said it all" - ever.  And I don't think it would be wise to manage a this site based upon another site (ATS or otherwise)... just my opinion.

Time changes all things.  And what was there, is seldom exactly what is here.

This conversation... case in point.
