Thanks for sharing this piece of information.

If a relevant fraction of those read and understood what I tried to contribute to the Coronavirus topic, I maybe should at least try to feel a little less like the above-mentioned stonier-than-thou rolly-polly guy.

It’s like finding out we’re not alone in the universe! Kind of dangerous information in a way. The bird site, IG, etc.- you know how exactly how big your audience is (potentially). Most people do behave differently when they know they’re being watched. For better or for worse!

That seems like a mistake

I’ve noticed that the mysterious [OBJ] no longer appears. Was that an actual fix?
