   I think that's an interesting idea, but lets allow the issue to get a fair
airing (at least a week or two) before taking any steps in this direction.
   We really need to kill this thread: I had 800 emails in my inbox today, and
this is about twice the usual amount. I can't deal with this much email; I've
been sitting here for the past 5 hours reading it all and I'm getting really
sick of it.
