I have an idea.

If you have a suggestion about a Book Port feature, even if it is as
off-the-wall as an automatic dog hair removal tool, please feel free to
send it to the list.  We encourage your creative ideas.

On the other hand, it would be nice if we could avoid getting into too
much philosaphy about what or what not the Book Port should be.

In other words, if person a says the Book Port should iron clothes, it
would really help list traffic if person b did not say, "Book Port is
not a clothes ironer."  It is not that everyone on the list is not
interested in person b's opinion, it is just that many of the people on
this list are busy, and they do not have time to read the amount of
traffic generated by these kinds of messages.  The traffic is getting so
bad, in fact, that the developers cannot possibly keep up with the
traffic and continue to develop clothes ironers and other features that
many of you on the list have suggested.

If person b feels compelled to write about the fact that Book Port is
not a clothes ironer, and person b cannot refrain from expressing his
opinion about this fundimental issue, person b may wish to consider
writing person a a private, polite message explaining why the device is
this or that and not the other.

Thanks.
