On some of the long threads, someone has been kind enough to post a summary on occasion. I'd suggest those summaries be posted to the dev-info (or whatever it becomes) list as well, with the same x-posting and reply-to rules as thread-starters. I don't recall who it has been that has done such summaries, but I've found them useful, and others have remarked that they have as well. I believe they'll be equally useful on the proposed low-noise -info list... with the caveat that the summaries be just that, not add any personal opinion beyond the summary, and /possibly/ that whoever this summarizer is, it be made an "officially blessed" position, so not just anyone could post a reply and call it a summary. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
