This is really funny. Do you all realize how many times we've gone over this over the past 25 years?
As Bill poignantly explained, maybe instead of trying to establish a cut-off date, we instead think outside of the box: If enough people object to a topic, it stops. Let's call it three objections. If three different people reply to a post objecting to it then whoosh, off it goes into the bit bucket, never to be spoken of again. Example: Someone A: Hey, is it OK if I talk about Windows 11? Someone B: Objection. Someone C: Objection. Someone D: Objection. Someone A: Ok, sorry [bashfully skulks away] Food for thought.
