Gentlemen,
At this point, I think the forum moderators have all the data they need to consider this issue and reach a decision. I was very impressed that this thread received well over 100 responses without turning ugly and degerating to personal attacks. As it seems to be trending in that direction, maybe we should all just step back from our keyboards and let the moderators consider the opinions expressed and the suggested solutions. At this point rehashing our stated positions repeatedly doesn't really add anything to the discussion and only comes across as arguing for the sake of arguing.
I'm not trying to discourage anyone from expressing any new ideas, just urging those who've had their say (including me), to step back and let the powers that be do their job.
I think these open discussions of forum policies are a healthy part of the growth process - as long as they remain civil and respectful. The needs of this forum, and the general LF community, are constantly evolving. It is a credit to those who manage and moderate this forum that they recongnize these changing needs and are willing to accomodate such changes by openly discussing forum policies and potential policy changes. Whatever their decision in this matter, I rest assured that it will be thoughful and will be made with the best interests of the LF community in mind.
Kerry
