Occasionally some of us have reposted our own thoughts both here
and in rgm* but have carefully editted out all the list references
and list member references out.

Truly. Decency and civility are not spelled out in the FAQ. But
if these had to be spelled out, wouldn't that be really sad for
the list.

A moderated newsgroup was suggested, however the reality of it ever
happening is about 0.1% While a "save rgma" discussion is likely
outside the scope of this list, I will agree that it happens to be a
primary source of new members and fresh ideas to this list. So
utlimately at some level the fate of MDL and rgm* are inextricably
linked. *shrug*
