There is another point to made here. I don't equate the posting of
ideas here with the thought that the poster has actually gone out and
coded and implemented the whole thing on an impulse. Nor do I equate
it with any sort of strong endorsement of an idea unless indicated.
Clearly some of the ideas have been implemented and the poster
usually indicates so. I view much of the posting an attempt to
elicit analysis and critique of potential ideas. Also many posts and
some of mine are strictly off-the-top and don't necessarily indicate
any plans of the sort for any server. They just exist to fire
synapses in other list members minds.
