I agree that users have a right to debate, but not to monopolize the group message post w/ who's right or wrong.  Even political debates have time limitations.  The moderator has a right to keep the group that he started on its focus.  If anyone doesn't want that then there are several more groups on yahoo.  We should respect the moderator, and like he said direct debate can continue via email, so everybody wins.

But debating the pace of software releases on Treo's killer app (E-mail) is very relevant, and should not pre-emptively be pushed offline as a "pissing match".

Roger and Marc are both free to speak up here and IMO are doing so responsibly. Roger actually offered a retraction after 'Beta' was clarified. This is progress!  If it gets a little hot in here or feels 'argumentative', so what? Rational argument reveals the truth -- ask Aristotle and Sophicles (both Treo users).

So I request we all relax a bit when we see Roger or Marc go vocal on the important subject of Treo e-mail.  There's room for pitched debate, silliness, and everything in-between. A little heated bandwidth won't kill us.

Still chuckling at Akroyd-Curtin quote!
