It is an international mailing list and you can imagine the "american beer is water" type arguments. The burgers wars were just incredible. Who knew burgers, the types of meat, the style of cooking, comparing various chains, cooking methods, etc etc etc. It was such a horrible thread, I being the list owner had to step in and ban the topic from further discussion. It has been 10 years since all three thread topics were banned. When we tuba players gather at conferences, the list members still talk about the vile language and name calling that went on in those "discussions". They would have made Gary Slinger look like a saint! :)

I can't imagine what situation arose that needed to ban beer from the discussion. It must have been truly heinous.
