Gee Brett,

You bitch about irrelevant posts, then when parallel paths are there to
divide up the traffic, you bitch again.

It would be far more productive to suggest to Scribe discussion channels
(or raise the subject of discussion forum topics on the list) than to
have a blanket bitch as soon as something is changed.

As far as I can see, having multiple forums is a way of keeping
"irrelevant" or irreverent stuff off the PLUG "help! line" .... I
haven't followed the setting up of the forums, but surely if there is a
problem, it is better to have a rational discussion about it??

Garry.
