I have forceFUTed your post (and am considering others in the tree as well) to .debate as it’s veering in that direction (discussions of the merits of funding are probably not nearly as well suited to geek). Note that you can always change the FUT back if you disagree with good reason or because you are going back on topic for .geek

Hmm, thought I was on topic for .geek, but you’re right, it was starting to become a debate. I agree the followup on this should go to .debate.

   See also this recent thread

http://news.lugnet.com/off-topic/debate/?n=20719

which touches on many of the same issues.

I saw part of that thread, but hadn’t read it in a while - I had a hard time with some of the uncivil personal attacks in there. Not my intent to start another one like that.

   Hope that helps. Questions or concerns about the force to my email... I’m still not sure what the right level of notification/intervention is.

I think any changes made to the FUT in a post by someone else is worthy of a short notice.
