I think a little self- control is also in order. In other words, if you go
off topic, try to not get carried away, and most importantly, don't get
nasty. There were some exceptionally nasty notes on a recent thread that
caused, I think, most of us to seriously consider banning OT posting. :-)
Again, self control is the key, because if it's not exercised, then some
form of external control will be imposed. That is what self-government is
about. :-)
