Ahh...Sorry for the flame. You're obviously not a native English speaker(the Canadian address belies your origins). Native English speakers however have no right to poor English.

Don't they know we've already talked about that? But college continues because it wasn't designed for just one group of people of one time period. It was designed for everyone, and to evolve to meet future need. If the c-punks list were to survive, it too would have to evolve to meet future needs, and that evolution would be sure to disappoint a lot of the older crowd. The big difference here is that college is far from cutting edge in anything, and the list is (or could be) cutting edge. But nearly everyone so far has acknowledged that, despite improvement in signal- to-noise on the moderated list, the factor of external control has also removed much of what was interesting. Remove the control and incorporate the best of the suggestions that have been made so far, and some of that interest may return. Perhaps more importantly, if the principals could see their way to mend some fences along the way, that would restore even more confidence in the list.
