how long is this community going to let a single person dominate its agenda? i'm using kill-by-thread on dnsop now. i have no idea how much i'm missing of what's being posted, but what i really fear is what i'm missing by how much is not being posted, because so many others have also been driven into similar kill-by-thread exhaustion by the endless back and forth on the same small web of interwoven topics by the same four or five people who just can't bear to let foolish or silly or factually wrong statements go unchallenged. an early and elementrary usenet discovery, back the low to mid 1980's, was that some people will not change their views no matter what's said to them, in fact they aren't really hoping for that, all they look for in replies to their articles are hooks on which to hang a renewed restatement of whatever they said before. it is itinerant on all of us to not fall into the trap of needing to set the record straight on a daily basis. some things we don't agree with can be left unchallenged, it won't affect the lense of history nor the views of the silent majority of fence sitters watching the back & forth. show some willpower, folks, please. -- Paul Vixie _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
