Adam, I don't think it is being suggested that one cannot glean
useful information from CSA2. The point is that it could be much
better than it is. I've been watching Delphi's postings balloon the
last few days. I think there are people who don't post here because
of the noise to content ratio.
The crap here probably won't "scare" me off, either. But, it could be
better. And there may be a time when I decide that (because of the
crap) its a waste of my time to participate here.
I really do think moderation is a good idea.
