The other issue is this - so much of this mailing list is clogged up by incredibly tedious and repetitive arguments over the same bloody topic: attack sites. Could we perhaps declare a moratorium? Create a separate mailing list? Please, before the sanity of those of us who don't care collapses?
As the one responsible for a good deal of that, I'd honestly love to be able to drop the subject myself and go on to something more productive. Unfortunately, like the monster in a bad horror movie, BADSITES in some form or other keeps coming back from the dead every time it seems to be completely defeated. Just now, some editors have been trying yet again to add language back into the NPA policy designed specifically to ban all links to certain sites under any circumstances, after everybody else thought that full agreement had been reached on a version that simply included the common-sense provision that links shouldn't be added for the purpose of attacking. As long as this silly idea refuses to die, neither can my fervent opposition to it.
