Ray Saintonge:
The new reader part is not a big bother. These questions are often
short and simple, and many can be easily be answered by whoever
happens
to be available.
Some of the debates are extremely annoying, such as the recent
Robert/Jtdirl dispute, and the ones that complain about yet another
reincarnation of Lir. Perhaps we could have a whineopedia mailing
list
(or if our Brits prefer a wingeopedia). A moderator
on this list
could
redirect any qualifying letters to that list. Or
perhaps, to save the
sanity of the moderator, an anti-spam device could make the diversion.
"Lir" and "anti-Semitism" are canditates for words that would
trigger
the diversion. Anyone who likes receiving this kind of message wuld
be
free to subscribe to the whineopedia list. :-)
Hmm. Maybe a web-based bulletin board which by its nature helps people
sort discussions by topic and discourages getting off topic, and which
allows for easier reference to the Wikipedia content being discussed?
Just a thought.
