And I don't particularly agree with that either. I most especially disagree with a mechanism to deprecate in some way the threads that ddn't appeal to the hoi polloi...which would presumambly include the "new people". I say it's not broken, and I say don't fix it. Fair minds differ all the time here as to what's drivel and what isn't. I'm not even convinced "attracting new members" is a good goal to have. I'd prefer to see quality not quantity.

I may have to turn in my geek's licence for saying this, but not everything that *can* be done *should* be done.
