  I don't see any chaos here Danny.  Just some chronic complaining about
and issue regarding the illegitimate rules that a tiny minority seem to wish
to argue about over and over again.  That is not chaos to me.  I can ignore
those rehashed arguments at will..  I frequently do...  So can you, so can
Patrick, so can anyone.  So admonishing Patrick on this issue is not
convincing to me.  Others mileage of course may vary.

  I believe that you are misinterpreting what Joop was referring to.  It is not
the NUMBER of posts that he was referring to, but the nature of some
participants posts...  I may agree with him with respect to some participants,
but also realize the fact that unless a participant can express him/herself
in their own style and manner of their choosing, than you are advocating
a form of CENSORSHIP.  And ANY FORM OF CENSORSHIP IS
WRONG!
