Well . . . to be fair, "the usual code related thread" is a question that
gets answered before most of us even see it in our inboxes, generally by
half a dozen people in varying (but generally all helpful) ways.

I think it's a good thing that when someone asks a question it gets
answered promptly, with some detail, with varying approaches, by several
skilled coders, while a slur of the community gets examined to determine
whether we have any shortcomings that need addressing -- rather than just
discarding the rant as baseless without even checking it for hidden
truths.

. . . and I've seen some of the more interesting code-related and
programming theory-related threads get much longer than this.
