Yeah, as I say, people are a lot less tolerant now about people sharing simple mistakes they make than they were when I first started posting here. People used to grimace in sympathy, acknowledge that they've also made simple mistakes, and move on.

Now things like that get flagged, even though there's clearly a sizeable proportion of people who do still find it useful[0].

The demographics have changed[1].

So I'll remember, on your advice, that if ever I write up any simple mistakes I make, I won't post them here.

[0] FWIW, I think flags required to kill something is far fewer than votes required to get to the front page. So even if a vast majority of people think something is interesting, a far smaller collection of people can get it killed.

[1] Or my memory is faulty. I've been here 15 years now ... maybe it was always like this.
