You find it boooring. I find it fascinating. You find cats, dogs, babies, or what have you fascinating, I find them boooring. Fortunately, we both have Delete keys. Hopefully, we will continue to use them when each of us finds it appropriate. Personally, I would hate to see them go off list because it is CS and in spite of their snipping at each other, there is experimenting going on (I think) and hopefully, we will all be better off in the end.

Erwin: While I'm thankful that at least a couple of people on this list understand that scientific discussions/experimention often has practical benefits, that was definitely NOT the point of my earlier comments. My point was that attempts to limit CS discussion on this list, when the list owner has always maintained a 100% open policy for ANY type of CS dialogue is reprehensible. Frankly, I'm surprised that my objection and that of Stuart's have been the only ones heard. The freedom to speak ones mind is perhaps the most important of all the liberties that an open society enjoys. The fact that almost no one on this list has protested at the suggestion to limit discussion to "acceptable" CS topics, speaks volumes about how much our values have deteriorated. And if there are any Libertarians reading this message, I'm still waiting to here why you are not outraged at this suggestion. If anyone is moved to respond, please contact me off list, so that we don't impinge on the rights of list participants who want to discuss CS topics exclusively; ALL CS TOPICS.
