I think the "secondary market" aspect of this list is valuable, and I don't

Good point, what is the sense of telling each other that everyone is civil
when people aren't? There are a few people here who are always on the
attack and try to ruin it for everyone, I know they have ruined it for me
and I will be quitting this whole thing soon. I had two friends from work
