>>I suggest that SI charge a $5 posting fee, and a $1 reading fee for each message. That would encourage multiple posters to condense their thoughts, and discourage vandals from defiling this forum.<<

Charlie -

Would that be Canadian dollars or US Dollars? ;-)

But seriously, that would kill the discussion groups.

The Internet by it's very nature is anarchic. We will always have to deal with all of the different personality types. Ultimately, there is no way to completely control the nut jobs without stifiling free expression.

In dealing with the irritating posters, though, I think the best method is peer pressure, applied with restraint and maturity. And I do think that ignoring people can be quite effective.
