Great rant, MW. I've read it several times, and even tried running it through Alta Vista's NZ to Yank translator, but couldn't figure out who you were aiming at. It's probably just as well <g>.

>> So, to Uncle Frank, I wonder if you think The New Qualcomm thread will fail due to assault by graffiti artists or lack of interest and abandonment.

I think the New Q has already failed in the sense that they are not able to enforce their charter (which contains 5 items that you can't do). People who practice good Netiquette have avoided making inappropriate posts (more than one, that is), but those with thicker skins (I guess you would call them barbarians) have done so anyway and just ignore comments from the <too numerous> thread monitors. As well, due to the popularity of Q and the expertise of the core posters, New Q has been near the top of the <Hot Topics> list since inception, which always attracts the "unwashed".

I don't post to New Q, much to Ramsey's delight, but appreciate the fact that it has lessened the traffic on the Old Q thread <g>.

I'm having NZ roast lamb with mint jelly and garlic potatoes tonight, Maurice, so don't be too tough on me. Oh, and Go Niners!
