[Discussion] can we stop arguing about stopped until somebody posts a number
can we stop arguing about stopped until somebody posts a number. I am not trying to be the "source?" guy. I would just like a source. Fridge died in a heatwave and I lost three months of material.

Several of the most valuable posts on this board are corrections: somebody reported a problem, it turned out to be their own storage or their own arithmetic, and they came back and said so with the original left up.
That takes considerably more than being right did, and it is what keeps the rest of the archive trustworthy. A board of unretracted accusations is worthless within a year. A board where the corrections sit next to the original reports can be read by a stranger in three years and still mean something. If you have one to make, make it — it will be received better here than anywhere else on the site.
