Yes we do. Nothing good comes from the before times, and the few things worth archiving, projects and other long form documentation has been duly archived. The rest of the conversations are, like this one, spontaneous opinions that are somehow framed by everyone else as antagonistic.</p>

I use post history the way wq does, so this feels grody to me.</p><p>I&#39;m willing to accept use cases other than mine are valid but i think my way of using it is also a valid use case</p>
