We do not explicitly dumb down the code.
If there is a valid reason, i.e. mostly performance, to use more modern language construct, we will use it.
if there's no reason for it, then you must demonstrate how it will make our life better.
I'd rather be phishing!

Visited Palermo yesterday and found the Capucin catacombs to be the best place to evade the scorching heat, it is not for the faint hearted though, hundreds of skeletons and mummified remains are staring at you, mostly placed in an upright position and dressed in their original clothes.
The numerous churches of Palermo are nice and cool too.
The Palermians themselves seem to flee from their bustling city in the weekend to the beach of Isola delle Femmine.
Luckily for us, as we even managed to find a free parking place at the Bonnaro marketplace.
Today we will go to the salt lakes of Nubia and stay there for a few days.

Read an SF story many years ago where a space ship landed on Pluto and the entire planet burned off it's methane.

Did you hear about the guy whose entire left side was cut off?
He's all right now.

Didn't he use to live in Tremé?
That would make him an ex-Tremé right-winger.

In other words, whatever's left of him is just what was right.

I heard he deserved that, serves him right!

I've been noticing that a lot of news websites I frequent have been counting the number of visits, trying to force me to buy a subscription. Of course, all I have to do is delete the cookie(s) associated with the website and the count gets reset to zero. It seems that this would be a great idea to have an add-on such that there is a ToolButton that could be actuated to delete the cookies on the tab that is currently active (or when the tab is closed). Now, this is not the same thing as an add-on that simply deletes the cookies all the time; I'd like to have control of when to delete rather than have the garbage automatically collected.
Of course, if there isn't such an add-on already developed, I guess I could roll my own. I am wondering what languages, IDE, etc., I would need to know/have develop such an add-on. I'm quite green with internet stuff, as the last web page I built was purely in HTML, and before Y2K, LOL.

there's another solution to the problem:
use a private session when browsing those news sites. As soon as you close the session, the cookies are automatically removed.

I just clicked on "My Followers", and discovered a bunch of people I have never heard of. I wonder what they are hoping for?

We have followers here?
If I were a mail man, I would be some people's follower to find out when they are at home - or not. It would not be them I'm stalking.

I have one I recognize, but I suspect that was finger trouble on his part.
I also hove one with a spammy name, but no posts yet. Would be nice if they announced themselves in advance, wouldn't it?
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Aaah thats why Sean Ewington is following me No idea why but my guess is:
a.) I was suspect before/in between some years
b.) Sean Ewington has a very bad Reputation (-129,675 at the moment) and Needs some up votes from my side

Sean is on my list so a good guess is we've said something naughty and thus warrant supervision wherever our trail leads on CP.
