A large part of this is that some of the regular people are now using
the list as a way to socialise and contribute 'me too' or 'yes/no' sort
of comments that dont really have much relevance to the real thread. All
of this not only makes the list unwelcoming to new users, it also
dramatically drops the quality of conversation.

If moderating is the only way to restore sanity and keep things
productive for the folks bringing through conversations then so be it,
we will start putting individual accounts on moderation.
