In reference to the idea of splitting c.s.a into .discussion and .questions
areas....
This is not a bad idea on the surface, however on closer examination it breaks.
Most of the major traffic comes from people diverging into new threads from
someone's origional question.  So if someone asks a question about the new
game they want to buy, and someone else starts rattling about things only
remotely related to the origional topic, then it should move to the discussion
portion, but you know people won't bother with that.  I say that if things
were broken into those two groups, within a month, you wouldn't be able to
tell them apart by the contents at all.

     I think it needs to be broken up, but into only a few, carefully selected
topics, to aviod cross posting as much as possible.
