As much as I criticize Twitter it does have those "Community Notes" or
"Fact Checks" that are commendable.

The mailing list equivalent is someone manually replying to Niall's posts
to point out that they are almost always entirely false.

contributor to many more libraries than the person inventing fiction about
Boost yet again).
