Just FYI the zero-padded date thing is incredibly distracting and weird. (Yes I know there’s some “foundation” pushing this, but still).
BTW it is also useless in any other scenario.
Yes, distracting from your main point by intentionally attracting attention to something completely unrelated is bad.
And it's good to know who those griefers are before that becomes a life-or-death question, as it eventually was for Turing, Swartz, Assange, and so many others.
