I can't imagine how any reasonable person could ever possibly manage
to distinguish between:

a) six posts a week ago, by five different people, in a thread which
promptly died an amicable and quiet death;

b) the twenty-seven emails sent by you, fifteen by Joshua, nine by
David, seven by Guy, six by James, &c &c - in less than twenty-four
hours to one thread alone!

One is a reasonable discussion. The other, well, "babbling" seems a
fair characterisation. Please, people, if you must spar like that,
take it to IRC...
