Perhaps because of this advice:

They also have a "reply-to considered not harmful" page.

Personally, I would prefer people stopped writing "Foo considered harmful"-articles. Especially if they mention Edsger Wybe Dijkstra, because he did *not* write an article entitled "Go-to statement considered harmful". To quote EWD1308:

I had submitted a paper under the title 'A case against the goto statement', which in order to speed up its publication, the editor had changed into a 'Letter to the Editor', and in the process he had given it a new title of his own invention! The editor was Niklaus Wirth.

Kind regards,
