I personally think this is a stupid idea. Let me start by saying that I'm not a M$ troll. Don't like the company nor the products, I'm into Open Source and always be. Love OOo and have done so for several years now. However this idea puts this list into the hands of few (that will have there own biasis and subjectiveness). Whats to stop this list becomming OOo propaganda...
We would become so walled and closed off to anyone else (becuase they may say something un-nice about OOo) that we believe anything is said... This would however all be at the personal judgement of a select few. What happens if one of the people selected doesn't like Mozilla - what happens to negative comments about them... Are they deleted as "Microsoft propaganda should be deleted" ?? Who moderates the moderators??? Everyone on the list should be adult enough to read the list, and then make up there own mind on what to believe. If someone needs clarification there will be many others that will be able to assist. Some independent reading/googling will dispel most un-truths anyway... Lets not get silly here... commone sense should be applied, not this idea. /paul On 12/11/05, Dibya prakash <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > This is a good idea.I am ready to volunteer.I can devote around an hours > time for the same. > > Regards > Dibya Prakash > > CPHennessy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Sat December 10 2005 17:07, Roger Markus wrote: > > There is a solution to the recent problem of the list having gone off the > > tracks.
