Agreed. In fact, I had first considered this option before coming up with the controversial suggestion of creating yet another Vort list, the [VoT] group. One would assume that there would be less modifications needed to manage a list group that already exists. However, pursuing such an option would, as you have pointed out, change the intent of what [VoB] is currently designed to take care of. Currently it's not just a place for the handling of OT discussions. It also a place for fistfights and flame wars. In a sense [VoB] was designed to help shunt off the vestiges of aggressive posting behavior from [Vo]. Personally, I'm ALL FOR changing the rules in [VoB] so that there are civilized rules one must follow - or else be prepared to experience the wrath of the god of Vortex at your own peril. ;-) But again, that is a decision Mr. Beaty would need to ponder. I'll just say that IMO, I think [VoB] is currently underutilized. I think it could be used for far more noble purposes than as a "shunt".
