I wouldn't have made that connotation, but then, here at IBM,
roundtables are meetings where upper management brings a bunch of peons
into the room to just have an open discussion.

It does seem to be working pretty well, and is keeping a reasonable
level of civility. I think the greatest part is that you have been
active here which is making those of us who were concerned that the
administration seemed to be vacant have no worries any more. I'm sure
that even if the volume of messages may not be any different, having
large volumes of stuff categorized to some degree makes it easier to
deal with them (hmm, I have two minutes to deal with Lugnet, anything in
lugnet.admin.general? Hmm, I have an hour or so to spend thinking, deal
with lugnet.admin.general, then dig into lugnet.admin.suggestions.).

They also really don't belong in lugnet.off-topic.debate (since they are
on topic, at least with respect to Lugnet as a community of AFOLs). And
I agree, it would leave some folks out (of course .admin is filtered by
default also, but it is easily separately filtered than .off-topic).
