Much religous discussion has gone on this list in the last few days. Mr.
Lehey recently apologized for a spammish message. Hey! We have a
resource for this sort of non-technical discussion.

I do not propose that we end this lively discussion. I do propose that
we move to an appropriate medium.

I had subscribed to -chat for a week. I got NOT ONE message.

Perhaps we as a community could commit to moving -chattish topics to the
-chat list. It would reduce the signal to noise here in -questions. This
would require the same sort fo self moderation that we see when a
message gets forwarded to -questions from someone on the -hackers list.
The folks on -hackers can self moderate. So can the folks on -questions.
(Is there on overlap between these subscriber bodies? :)

I would love to wax zealous on -chat. I am reluctant to get too
non-technical here on -questions.

Have fun,	 | Stop warning me about the latest virus. Learn more...
