Please don't back from a facilitating role here. I don't think it is a
matter of stiffling speech... just suggesting that it take place in another
forum. Any discussion needs a good faciltator to stay focused. Thankfully,
we have one here. Let's not throw it away... it's the difference between an
interesting forum and a bar room (Bar rooms are interesting places ...
good for observing human behavior; not that conducive to technical
discourse).
