| happen with the new rules. <shudder>
| Now the trick would be to recognize when a topic has gone from a
| debate to just flogging a dead horse.
| Besides, I hate the idea that people could be sending in silly ideas
| that could get published without me ever having a chance for countering
| it.

I must agree with MC23 on this one. I think that Steve wants some ideas
that have been hashed out and discussed, calmly and with forethought. (I'm
tryin' guys)
