Matbe it was just recieving about 50 messages in one go that did it,

but I think that about 25% were in the latter catagory and too many

in the former. A bit of fun is nice but I think the list is

beginning to get a bit over-trivial. That said I find the somewhat

acrimonious and rather pointless disputes about energy transfer

semantics even worse. This dispute has nothing to do with the

relative merits of the two instruments and everything to do with

peoples egos. Couldn't you conduct it by Email?

Mike,

I completely agree with you. After all, the only person worse

than a fool is the person who argues with one.

Answer 1

looks like advertising is verboten and is going to be cracked down on hard very soon.

beyond that, I would guess if it doesn&#039;t settle back down to scientific discussions only very soon after that, all the extra cruft and meta-discussions will be verboten too.
