That's often followed by there's already a module which does that or maybe it should do X instead. Then that conversation would legitimately jump back here and would eventually jump to the naming list ... over and over again. That would be even more tedious (hard to believe, I know).

And eventually everyone in the thread (except the list, because of course the list doesn't want to hear about _foo_) would just be getting CC'd on every message and each thread would become its own little ad-hoc mailing list. Sounds like a plan. --Eric -- If the collapse of the Berlin Wall had taught us anything, it was that socialism alone was not a sustainable economic model. --Robert Young --- http://scratchcomputing.com ---

Yeah, I don't have an answer for this, and with the level of importance some give detailed and debated naming, I guess we're stuck with it. Bring on the nits, let's get splitting. Austin
