Based on what?  Telling one's net.colleagues to shut up about a topic
of this importance deserves a little factual support.  Has Rahul been
getting netmail complaints or what?  I haven't seen anything.

There is no justification offered for such a moratorium, beyond vague
"impressions" of reader ennui.  *IF* Rahul were suggesting a moratorium
because, for instance, he planned to release a political-game-free
version of ZOO in a couple of weeks that would render this discussion
moot, that would be one thing.  *OR* if someone other than Rahul (who
is clearly an interested party in the discussion) originated the suggestion,
it might be worth considering.  As it is, I don't see why we shouldn't
continue to discuss the issue as we see fit.  Sorry.
