Wait a minute..you expressed consternation over inappropriate thread titles. If you agree or not, it boils down to free beer..er speech. No need for direction to other websites as we have simply followed and contributed to the discussion at hand. Smokescreen or not. You state "This is about folks using SqueezeBoxen (and descendants) helping each other." Where does that place in your original post? You said "Rude behavior will drive out some users" Likewise, Title or content? You said "it has nothing to do with free speech, censorship, etc. its about manners" That's terribly muddled. . -- haunyack Transporter -> B&K 200.2 -> Vandersteen 3A Signature C.G.
