The problem is that in most moderated lists the moderator is also an snake oil salesmen or an ignorant.
IMO the best thing we can do is to ignore the non interesting posts.
MV is specially uninteresting because it is commercially dead and very discredited.
If I want to discredit a MV product in the eyes of my manager I only have to say that it is similar to the ancient Pick.
The object persistence/prevalence snake oil salesmen are an actual threat for my job, but fortunately that stuff is not very popular in the group.
