Well, I think that's wrong, and I think we can do better.
I know I can do a better job in this thread. I have a plan to have a
summit with all of the involved newsgroups, something you have not yet
achieved, you've not yet been able to bring posters to the table.
We can do a better job of training the newsgroup regulars to answer the
"call and response" threads in the correct manner, and I know that we
can do a better job of preparing such threads.
