Mav says, 2 brief points, Keiva:
1. My suggestion was ... we keep threads below a 100 postings.
Which I suggested, and again suggest, hijacks the issue i'peter raised.

2. Censorship is not an option in your power, thank goodness.
Fully agreed -- but civil self-restraint is within my power, thank goodness.
Is it within yours?
I did not feel, IMHO, that your above reply to me achieved that courtesy.

Edited to clarify reference, as of Troy rightly notes. Inselpeter's post, orignating this thread, said in part: In these times, especially, we need to be able to disagree clearly and strongly, but to avoid rancor.
