Wayde:
Perhaps *you* could have sent private e-mail to those members you deem
as behaving or discussing inappropriately. This is a free public forum,
one governed by rules of democracy, not rules of tyranny. How, exactly
would you define "idle chit-chat"? Sometimes, some of the most relevent
and powerful insights surface from milling around in the mundane.
If we didn't have a forum where all ideas, thoughts, chit and chat were
acceptable, then I would say we should have a rule that people cannot
make compaints of any sort on mailing lists, which would make your comment
unacceptable.
If this post is too chit-chatty for you, please feel free to e-mail me
