I wasn't targeting anyone - I was simply taking the opportunity to expand on the hyperbole that NF started; it was nearly irresistable. If some took it as a personal attack on the originator, I can't deny that the thin-skinned might take it as a cheap shot. I think that JN's response was as antagonistic as NF's post - she stated a clearly impossible rule, and he stated that it would be given the attention it deserved. EOT. I don't see either JN's or NF's messages as openly antagonistic; both seem to have politely snubbed the other's suggestion.

I won't even consider why JN felt it necessary to take exception to my involvement in this discussion, but based on what I perceive to be an attempt at bear-baiting in a later message, prompted by yourself, my further participation in this thread is pointless, and I don't want to read through a discussion by those who feel the need to decide the PC-ness of my participation. I have strong opinions, and I tend to state them; why waste bandwidth and damage to my metacarpals for a discussion that I don't think will be ultimately productive. If I have wishes, I can find another means of expressing them, thankyouverymuch.

>Re your points on the wishlist: anybody who has participated in a listview-moderated beta will agree that threaded wishes/reporting risks repetition because it can be difficult to hunt down previous reports. Tracking down existing reports is one of Jim's big points. I'm sure he'll take on board the suggestion re wiki-style presentation.

I'm certain that if others support the suggestion and my name is dropped as the source of the suggestion, it might happen. And the deer on my back lawn might turn into giant variants of Vorpal Bunnies. < Sigh > - the things we risk living in a quantum physics based reality.

>Another possibility raised by your reference to moderators, is that all wishes must be submitted to a human panel that does not censor or comment but does manage repetition or poorly classified wishes. FWIW, SB seems to moderate the VFP wiki single-handedly AFAICS and sorts the wheat from the chaff with great effectiveness.

Steve is assisted quite ably by a number of volunteers who clean up the topics, reassign them to categories, etc. While the Wiki is SB's child, he has a team of people who have the characteristics needed to perform the summary and cleanup work. They all deserve credit for their efforts.
