Anthony, Rick and others, please take Daniel's cue to move the conversation to Vfd.

I'd have no problem with this -- in fact I would love it -- if it weren't so hard to communicate on Wikipedia's talk pages. Brief conversations are fine, but anything resembling real debate among multiple people becomes nearly impossible to engage in coherently.
MediaWiki needs to have a more structured way of handling talk pages before these kinds of conversations can occur on them.

I'm seeing maybe 1.5MB of traffic since these latest threads started, spread out over four days. Whose mailbox was overflowing? Tell them I'll give 'em a lifetime POP3 account with a 25MB quota that increases by 10MB every January 1st (including this next one) free of charge plus my personal apology if you can provide me with a copy of the bounce message showing their mailbox was full.
And I'd be happy to give anyone having problems with this list filling up inboxes a Gmail invite. 1 GB of Inbox space at no charge. All you have to do is ask.

I don't think Andrew meant "mailboxes filling" in the literal sense of "out of disk space". For me, and I assume for a lot of people, the major constraint is *time*. At some point, a "timeout" on a particular argument is valuable, when the discussion has reached the state of N-th repetition with no signs of progress.
