Please stop sharing anecdotes. They’re expressly against rule 3.

**If you are responding to the OP you need to craft an original explanation which will help them understand the thing they are asking, not share a story.**

The mods would prefer not to lock threads like this, and they would prefer not to ban people for breaking the rules after there were a bunch of warnings to not break the rules. So… help us not to do either by responding according to the rules!

(And if you’re extra helpful, report rule breaking comments / posts!)

Thanks, and enjoy reading the **explanations** which should be top level comments.
