Just because you have been too lazy to follow the debate, why call it
"secret"? Look, the thing is just an experiment, and if anything
important comes out of it, there probably will be a lot more debate
than there has been so far. And who are you to criticize those people
who are willing to donate their time to making things better for the
rest of us. I don't see you spending any time on Usenet... And Lauren
isn't moderating or censoring ANYBODY.  At least get your facts
straight before you attack people like this.
