Also got a PM from a forum moderator advising me that it's fine to report my own posts if I notice that I've accidentally torpedoed a thread. I have a lot of experimental experience so it happens distressingly often that I'll toss out an observation that should be well known but isn't and it'll completely sidetrack a discussion. Hitting the report button lets me flag a moderator on myself to get the topic split and hopefully make more room for both conversations.
