OK, it's 95% likely I'm baiting myself, but I'm going to make a couple points.
A: in no way have I ever claimed, or believed that I am a genre "expert." I'm just fascinated with the complications of defining them and the ambiguousness it gains from most people's interpretations of them.
B: I don't consider Pink Flag post-punk for these reasons: Post-Punk has no time restriction and is focused on confusion and emotion, usually sadness/depression/loneliness, etc. 99% of Pink Flag gave me raw energy and proud anger, traits of regular punk. I indeed noticed traces of post-punk, and I admit it's one of the defining influences. But not enough for me to call it a full post-punk album.
If you still think this is a dumb opinion, I'll listen to the whole list and then finish with Pink Flag. So that will be my project for the week: the post-punk list.
