We can and should be eliminating noise from that public record. It is indeed excellent. Perhaps this is an opportunity to create "expurgated.externals.io" that is under the control of whoever creates & manages it, to filter "noise" there so that others may peruse it in what they consider to be peace. That's three postings for me on this topic today, which is probably a bit much; I'll leave it at that for now. -- Paul M.
