Sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Thanks for the comments from Marc, Nathan and Steven. I'm hurrying this response in an attempt to keep the subject alive for a little longer and generate some interest from others. Marc, you comment is not very optimistic, but it was a great incenti

1. You're wrong. Just today I myself received some kind words offlist, but related to a thread. Just because you're not getting the air of friendliness you desire (at this moment anyway), doesn't mean friendliness doesn't exist. 2. It's a mailing list for discussion and debate, not an outlet for p

The most significant problem, Virgilio, is that there isn't too much people on this list can do. Unless and until problems become so clear that steward or Foundation action are obviously called for, there is unlikely to be much concrete action at all. Since we can't impose a solution to the problem

Talking about antisocial... It's quite interesting what I experienced in this very list. I wasn't aware of the study published in the New Scientist until I read about it here on the list, and appreciate the information very much. Earlier this month I wrote about my perception of the same inadeq
