I've been lurking on this list for nearly a year now and I agree with Michael 
1000%: there are far too many juvenile individuals who feel that it's their 
god-given right to rant and rave every time *they* don't like something. As far 
as I'm concerned, you only earn the "right" to say your piece when you become 
an active member of the community and contribute something of value - and even 
then, you speak to the rest of the team with the respect that they deserve.

I think the active members of this community (you know who you are) are doing a 
brilliant job and kudos to them - they really deserve it. OBOS is still in its 
infancy but with their help it'll mature into a fantastic OS.

I have an idea but I realise that it would mean a lot of extra and arguably 
unnecessary work: shouldn't this list be MODERATED? It is after all a 
development list and some of the spew that it's seen lately would be better 
suited on other lists...

Kind regards,
Cord Schneider
