There has been little bickering in them and they're easy to police. I may have misunderstood, but I thought YYB said that SI Bob was considering shutting down the three boards: LWP, RWET, and BR. If BR gets shut down, you, I, and anyone else can go post this same stuff somewhere else. We could start a new thread right now and all go over there. No biggie. The moderated threads, though, are in hot water because the snipees don't have the opportunity to confront the snipers because they're excluded from posting rebuttals. So it seems to me that the moderated threads are most at risk. You're right, though, and as I mentioned, that they have a built-in mechanism to police themselves, if they want. I'm not any kind of a winger, so I don't fully appreciate the joy of sniping, but the participants seem to embrace it wholeheartedly and would miss their sanctuaries, it seems to me. Karen
