I am *not *in favor of an unmoderated list. I am a member of CDP and
it is not uncommon for "religious" wars and off-topic threads to run for
days. I tend to ignore the list when this happens thereby losing the
benefit
of the excellent help to be had.

All,
It is no secret that I vehemently disagree with making this an
unmoderated list. So I'm going to take a poll. Everyone who is looking
forward to no moderator intervention during the next GOTO war or
Single Letter Variable war or next Monty Python Quote jamboree, please
sound off your approval. All those who want to see personal attacks
unsanctioned, sing out. And please take a moment to vote for obscene
and inappropriate comments as well.
Those who think the mods *should* step in on those sort of things,
kindly explain exactly what rules want and don't want. Because the
'freedom now' posts are not well thought out.
Digest users, for example, can't filter out posts. People who have
quotas on their e-mail boxes really don't want important messages
bouncing because two people decide to chat on the list about the
nuances of implementing a rock-paper-scissors design strategy on
various MV platforms. Some people are stuck with low speed connections.
The reason U2-Community is under used is because the vast majority
of people on this list aren't very interested in that sort of endless
naval gazing. Bear in mind, I generally don't END OF THREAD anything
immediately. I shut it down when the value vs. volume becomes reduced.
If it is running too long, but still of interest, I send it to
U2-Community. If asking you to change the address on the send line is
enough to completely kill a topic, you weren't very invested in it,
were you?
If this sounds angry, you have read it correctly.
This is now a U2UG board issue and will be discussed at the
Wednesday meeting. I suggest you put your opinions out in the open, on
U2-Community -as that is where it belongs under the CURRENT rules,
before then.
