We seem to have morphed from a technical/business discussion into a meta discussion on filtering.
In an ironical development, I am seriously considering filtering this discussion. For those who want/demand a strong moderation hand, I simply don't see this happening. Eugen's points about the strong contributers leaving first doesn't appear to be the case here (or on any list I have ever been on over the past ... 20-ish years) . Likewise, a strong moderation queue will do what its done to other mailing lists, with moderators whom have day jobs, and thats to pretty much kill the discussion. I can point to a number where the moderation queue (used mostly for spam filtering) has worked against free form discussion (as we have here). Some of the lists on bioinformatics.org specifically demonstrate that moderation isn't conducive to discussion. For those who don't want moderation and prefer local filtering ... procmail based, eyeball grep based (not egrep but close), the system will continue to function. Now that this is said, can we please .... PLEASE .... go back to our regularly scheduled cluster(s) ?
