It won't.  Try putting an end to the discussion on talk.abortion... it would
have roughly the same effect.  If anybody out there has a newsserver with
a lot of old messages, you might want to make a gigantic compilation (along
the monthly posting idea, but only posted if it looks like the topic is
going to break open again).

Here at Cal, all of the elected student officers try to make a big showing
at the end of the year by proposing well-meaning but rather pointless bills.
Some guy collected them all, and then when That Time came around next year,
he and his colleages proposed all of the bills at once, saving countless
hours of discussion.  I think something similar would be appropriate here...

Well, I just waded through 84 messages, but most were at least semi-technical.
Looks like things may be settling back into the routine...

Perhaps you were expecting brimstone? :-)
