Hi FL - boiled down to its essentials, I think the gist of the suggestion is that FADG should consist only of quality posts by quality posters who are not having an off day.

Lovely goal. No idea how to accomplish said goal without having a staff of in-house editors review all posts for form and content in advance.

Limiting full articles to two a day seems to be a useful idea, and I also like Jane Galt's rules.

But as a practical matter, as we slide in excruciatingly slow motion into the oncoming train wreck that may or may not be war in Iraq, I think people's nerves are justifiably on edge by the loud screeching noises all around us, and the flashing colored lights and 24-hour-a-day air raid sirens aren't helping, either.

Which doesn't excuse the "so's your old man" posts, nor the flag-waving rah-rah on either side, but maybe mitigates?
