Yup. When it's just things that annoy me a little, I overlook them as I have a rather high tolerance for such things. But when it
begins to really harm the community, that's when I start to get "emotional." When I see valued members of this community being
publicly disrespected (like Onyx just recently, or Steve Bliss some time ago) and hear about people who are less interested in
participating because of one person, I think restricting that one person becomes perfectly rational and quite fair.

I think I fit in this category. JW's promise to stop making incessant requests would go a long way, and concentrating on one or two
parts will help, but he also needs to make some very public appologies to specific people, both here and on RTL.
Someone be sure and let me know if he does, as I seem to be having a certain problem with me newsreader right now ;-)
Until then, maybe we should look at more general ways to improve the lugnet.cad.* newsgroups to lure back the likes of Joshua.
Can't we please find a good part name to argue about?
