12. I resisted for a long time.

But I use it pretty liberally now. I go through periodically and clear it again. It keeps me from blowing up and getting a hide. And it does feel somewhat satisfying to basically put some of these people on mute 😀 I will say, I've needed it more in the last few months than I ever have before. It's gotten pretty wild around here.

BTW, Thank you, Steve, for all you've done and for fighting the good fight.
