A page that has drifted out of date and needs a maintainer
This is a generated summary. It shows the 9 most-liked posts from a topic of 105, in their original order, with the accepted answer included where one exists. It is a reading aid and it will miss nuance — the full topic is the record.

Coming back to post #69, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.
Format suggestions: if you think a maintained page could be clearer in its presentation (different section structure, different examples, added graphics) suggest the change.
