You do a great job Dan but the current impact of flags on newbies is a huge problem

(Though I'm now thinking that I shouldn't have used the word abuse -- it was inspired by the fact that a low reputation individual was able to exile a newbie when we didn't see a problem with the post. With @smooth's flag -- and explanation of the flag -- and, hopefully, the future now-that-the-point-has-been-made removal of his flag, it clearly wasn't abuse, though it remains drastically excessive and likely to lose the community many newbies).
