    Somebody should get on the stick and put up a survey. I'd love to see
    what the silent and/or moderated-out majority feel about this sort of
    thing.

    This has been one of the more stimulating and thought provoking
    discussions on any mailing list I've been on recently. Thanks to
    everybody for keeping it interesting and mostly above the belt.

    Kudos Paul (and or substitute moderators) for keeping it from getting out
    of hand.

is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.
