hey! ENOUGH!
one person already stated that he would leave the list, possibly others are
thinking similar things. your thoughts are not appreciated, go state them
elsewhere. you have freedom to speak not freedom to make us listen. this list
is NOT the medium for this discussion, even if it was there has been enough
discussion to show it won't take us anywhere.
if you think this is worth discussing start your own discussion list, do not
taint my gsl-discussion list!
