Request to the moderators

Yes nm but that is not the point of this thread old boy. As klem says, there are plenty of whinebuckets for people to bleat into, but it would nice to have one thread which isn't totally polluted. Thanks

The topic is directed at moderators, so I didn't miss the point. However, I decided it's best to let members run the course and I'll stay out of the fray.

That post of yours nailed it nearmiss, I was just about to respond to it...oh well

Thanks for the vote of confidence... LOL

I've just replied to a post of yours which you've since removed from this thread and that changes the context of what I'd written entirely. How the thread now reads is that I mention you before you've even posted! Please don't do that, or it may undermine my confidence in moderators.....

Thats sig worthy!

I'd be in favour of Klem's suggestion. Suggested something similar over a year ago - a tightly moderated official update thread with only comments/questions specifically related to the announcement, along with a separate 'Discussion / thrashing' thread where people can indulge themselves in the usual 'debate' over what it all means.

Can foresee difficulty for the mods in enforcing the line - people can get pretty slippery and/or aggrieved. I also doubt whether people have the necessary discipline or patience to make it work.

Which is a good place to say sorry for my own little outburst in the update thread. Not averse to the red mists at times. Feel pretty stupid afterwards though. Silly to let it get to me like that, but could not believe the reaction to what I thought was a decent update.
