Well said Ben. Hopefully your posting will prevent this thread from degenerating completely out of control.... (we'll see.)
By the way, have any of you heard of the observation that any thread that extends beyond a particular length will inevitably contains references to Naziism and Hitler? This is probably only true of flame wars, and so on, but if I recall correctly, this was an observation borne from USENET postings. I've been surprised how often it's been true.
Searching for both of these phrases on both OpenACS's bulletin board and web/db, both return exactly 0 results. Perhaps that's a sign that we're a little more civilized than we seem :)
