Sigh. Yes. You sound just like somebody busting into a tea room
discussion, shouting "This is worthless! This is too unstructured!
There's too much silly arguing going on!" Fine! If you don't like
what's going on on an unmoderated list, then don't join unmoderated
lists. The Internet is not in any way different from society in
general. There are formal meetings. There are informal chats. And
there's always lots of worthless bantering going on. So?
