Also, as a conversation develops, irrelevant posts which don't add 
utility can be deleted making review easier.

Issues/complaints raised about any communication medium are rarely 
solved by moving to some other. They typically relate to the way humans 
use the facility. The gossip-side of social media is an evident race for 
the bottom. Many (semi-)professional channels are infected by peoples' 
assumptions of similarity. Also, do I need to discuss the way so many 
people ask for help but give minimum assistance to their hoped-for 
respondents? https://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html ...
