Since I almost never post in non-technical groups (except an
occasional net.tv or net.movies) I feel that an occasional 
lengthy analysis, to get people THINKING about the problems rather
than just letting things continue plodding along like they are,
is certainly not putting too much strain on the network.

Also, my remarks from that message were pulled out of context,
since I indeed did make suggestions about possible ways to
handle the situation--they just don't fall into the category
of "quick fixes" for the net.

You have my permission to suggest YOUR solutions for fixing
the network, Linn.  In the past I've done my darndest to
point out ways (including moderation) to help solve these problems,
but they've been considered unacceptable by the folks who
feel that they can just keep things the way they are and
everything will work out.  Sometimes people need something
to jar them into thinking about the problems.

But, c'mon Linn.  Maybe you have some great solution that none of
us old-timers who have been here since day one have thought of.
I'll be waiting to hear it with baited breath.
