My *opinion* is that u2-community needs abolished.  

As for the argument "I don't have enough bandwidth" in the 2000's for text 
email - I don't buy it.

I think topics need *END OF THREAD* only when they become obscene, or out of 
control - meaning someone is attacking someone else, or each other in a non 
professional manor.  Otherwise we're all adults, can read subject lines, and 
need to move beyond this.

To summarize I am in complete agreement with Cliff and Dawn's previous poses on 
this subject.

That's my $0.02 right here in the open for everyone to see and enjoy.

Subject: [U2] Religious Wars

All,
   It is no secret that I vehemently disagree with making this an 
unmoderated list. So I'm going to take a poll. Everyone who is looking 
forward to no moderator intervention during the next GOTO war or Single 
Letter Variable war or next Monty Python Quote jamboree, please sound 
off your approval. All those who want to see personal attacks 
unsanctioned, sing out. And please take a moment to vote for obscene and 
inappropriate comments as well.

   Those who think the mods *should* step in on those sort of things, 
kindly explain exactly what rules want and don't want. Because the 
'freedom now' posts are not well thought out.

   Digest users, for example, can't filter out posts. People who have 
quotas on their e-mail boxes really don't want important messages 
bouncing because two people decide to chat on the list about the nuances 
of implementing a rock-paper-scissors design strategy on various MV 
platforms. Some people are stuck with low speed connections.

   The reason U2-Community is under used is because the vast majority of 
people on this list aren't very interested in that sort of endless naval 
gazing.  Bear in mind, I generally don't END OF THREAD anything 
immediately. I shut it down when the value vs. volume becomes reduced. 
If it is running too long, but still of interest, I send it to 
U2-Community. If asking you to change the address on the send line is 
enough to completely kill a topic, you weren't very invested in it, were 
you?

     If this sounds angry, you have read it correctly.

   This is now a U2UG board issue and will be discussed at the Wednesday 
meeting. I suggest you put your opinions out in the open, on 
U2-Community -as that is where it belongs under the CURRENT rules, 
before then.
