Over time, several people suggested that I carry on doing so. I think that,
all in all, it elevates the relevance of the discussions and deters cyclic
arguments in old(er) threads by moving onwards to new topics.

What I find intersting is that threads that make no mentioning of
Windows/Microsoft get no follow-ups. That said, the Google Groups
description for this forum was something along the lines of "advantage of
Linux over /other/ operating systems", so I guess it's all on-topic.
By the way, I found another COLA(nnounce) today. Rather odd...

What's worth mentioning is that COLA gets more positive mentions and it even
reached Digg in the past. There is information and ideas to be found here
that were not expressed elsewhere.

Yes, Tim Smith made the suggestion. He still reads these, so maybe he uses
scoring rather than 'fatal' filters.

I believe started this because I got rather frustrated seeing recurring
arguments, troll-feeding, parroting, cursing, poor subject lines (reflecting
badly on content/body, or even Linux). At several points I considered
unsubscribing.

Thanks, folks! I appreciate it _a lot_.
