Whenever I read about the various generations that have followed after my own Boomer cohort, I have trouble remembering which one my children are in. I must have looked it up a dozen times and I still can't retain it.

I have a vague memory that long time ago I belonged to a forum that had a problem with members deleting (or editing) top-level posts after getting pushback in the comments.
