Some have suggested that Macromedia asked Michael to stop the thread to which you refer as well as the one on BlueDragon. I can't imagine Macromedia is that concerned with the content of this list. However, I can't help but notice that only some of the threads that are arguably off topic ever seem to be treated as such by Michael.
Whether anyone agrees with the above or not, every time a thread is "moved" by Michael to another list it dies.
