Hmm I suppose that makes sense. There is a lot of user moderation
here, but at times I think there's also a mob mentality.... Not that
I've been offended by any of the threads, since I don't get into them
very often, but I could see how it must scare some people off. I guess
the list is already big enough anyway.
