With all due respect, your last several posts have been pure drivel. OTOH, your exchange with TheWatsonYouth displayed some merit. I'm hoping you get back on track in the near future, lest you fall victim to the very convenient "ignore" option. :) eCo

Re: Many very reasonable folks gave up posting honest opinions on this thread because of the un-moderated responses Very, very, very, very, good point. A couple of "athwiper" lines and the whole thing just turns into a pissing match. Dan

Yes, and most of the people who are in favour of moderation on this thread are angry not at the style of certain posters but the fact that their posts are redundant and usually devoid of substance. > Anyway, I appreciate the review of the style on my posts > from a professional writer. I guess you don't have any > comments on their substance. Whether or not you are a professional writer is not relevant. As a dedicated amateur, I have learned that there are more important things than the plaques you can display on your wall. I was commenting on your substance, not your style. The substance of your message was, in my opinion, erroneous. You essentially implied (or, at least, I inferred) that those who wanted this board moderated did so solely because they have some fantastical hatred of Intel. In my readings of this thread, while I must acknowledge that there are some strange people like that, it is more common for me to see people complaining about the privileges of people posting insults and little else in terms of content. In one or two particular examples where content is involved, is it simply one small piece of content reproduced in messages over, and over, and over again. This, in terms of substance, is the equivalent of a densely packed sheet of free top quarks. -JC
