I have been tuning out of a lot of discussions on the -dev list
because they are uninteresting to me.  When we set out on this crazy
project, we all agreed that folks should be able to scratch their own
itches.  I don't currently have many itches, so haven't been
scratching.

I wonder if folks who participate arduously in so many threads really
find them all very interesting, or if they're merely trying to assert
themselves within the project?  Please note that the latter is not
necessarily a pejorative.

Perhaps if folks took a step back to seriously consider the value of
their contribution before contributing it, this list would feel less
combative?  Ask yourself, "What benefit am I providing to the project
by arguing for or against such-and-such?"

This is not a call to squelch anyone's input.  It's a suggestion that
people self-evaluate their input, so that it's better focused.
