I hope not, and I suggest that a certain amount of negative feedback will
prevent it.  When there's too much to read, and it propagates too slowly,
people lose interest, so there *should* be less posted.

Unfortunately, it's already been demonstrated that the equilibrium point
(if it exists) is somewhere way to the right of "nominal".
