Dear All, A little quote from Mr. Nave: "Let us hope that our coffee shop is not overrun by screaming children..." Excuse me if I get a tad bit offended by this. I am a computer science student at Carnegie-Mellon University and I read several internet b-boards. Most of the time I don't enter in arguments, or "petty bickering" as it has been called. I just like to read other people's ideas and see what's going on. I can see you guys getting frustrated with thousands of repetative messages and postings, but do you want to sanction of the rest of the world? I always thought (correct me if I'm wrong) that you guys advocated the open exchange of information and ideas via computer. Now you guys want to discuss the advantages of free computer forums while excluding anyone else from your little discussion? Sounds slightly hypocritical.
