Sounds awfully familiar...
The problems with that idea, is that it takes good leadership, and a format that works well (forums don't really lend themselves to such projects). We have neither here.
Joe's on to something; posting without reading. I've given up trying to figure out who's on what side, or what the argument is about; everyone has posted a new bit of information, digressing from some original argument into multiple different directions.
This thread is too long for me to sort through now (I can't even print the darn thing right!), and I will not play the role of arbitrator (not interested, and I suspect, neither is Joe), occasionally stepping in and re-capping what everyone has said and asking those involved to clarify some of their statements, if necessary.
...but it would be nice.
There's no sense in getting upset; just take a neutral stance, read and analyze what everyone is saying, recap and ask for clarifications.
With the new forum software, it's now possible to run polls and see where everyone has voted; this can come in very handy, in the middle of a discussion. Not sure where everyone stands? Setup a poll, and post a link to it from the main thread. Polls can now be set to be open for a fixed period of time (to avoid having it come up in the "new post" search everytime some joker votes on a 3 year old poll).
