This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I'm sure that was a factor in many of these instances. That said in our family my impression was it was more of a "here's something special about us" type thing, like there's nothing otherwise noteworthy.
That's generally how these things are always communicated to later generations. 😂
