:-) This is an eloquent expression of what I set out to say in this
thread, that I think that this issue can in large part be resolved by
some "how". Right now, the only "how" that people can think of is to
simply delete things that wouldn't belong in print, and this is
causing some friction here and there.
I suppose I'm skeptical that this is a big part of it. I personally
tend to suggest deletion of stuff primarily based on a viewpoint that it
doesn't belong in an online encyclopedia, not that it doesn't belong in
print. Sure, more stuff belongs in an online encyclopedia, but I don't
think *everything* does. Believe me, if I was basing it on print
considerations, I'd be nominating thousands of pages for VfD. =]
