I agree wholeheartedly with David. The topics under discussion have almost never been the problem. It is the person(s) involved in the discussions that has been the problem. Remove the problem, not the discussions.
And we do need to have a wide range of topics. For instance, I'm working on TEI, which I think is of vital importance to the future of PG (some may disagree). Discussions of TEI lead naturally into discussions of Unicode, graphic image formats, CSS, and other markup formats.
There are quite a few of us who would find it interesting to talk about these topics on gutvol-d if we knew that it wouldn't descend into pointless mudslinging within a day. I personally know of at least five DP volunteers who no longer follow gutvol-d because of the tone of recent posts. -- Jon Ingram __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail Mobile Take Yahoo!
