By the way, my answer is this.
The way my brain works is I want to first determine the state of holding 7 cards, 4 of which are stars. So I do the permutation 7p4 which is 840. This is my numerator, i.e. the winning states.
We divide this by the total number of states of 7 cards -- which for a deck of 40 is:
40*39*38*37*36*35*34
Then the chance of the 8th card being a star is 1 in 33.
So it's 840 / (40*39*38*37*36*35*34*33)

This post needs to be preserved as representative of today's average forum post quality. Except that it has too many words and sentences...
It's post-impressionism.

Well it's true that I'm defining good as "what's good for me."
Which is arbitrary.
Obviously chess.com disagrees with this... and for good reason. If most of their forum members are kids, then it makes sense to create what we currently have... where the majority of your posts are both figuratively and literally this:

That's the rub. If several members think a muted-but-gone members' posts have value and petition the account unmuted (which is the original discussion), then so what? The comments have value for them and potentially for others. Who am I to say they're wrong?
The concept of order necessarily values one kind of thing over another.
