Why is everyone so down on this solution and in favor of more use of social pressure? This seems a perfectly good technical solution, and would even serve to terminate (or merely move) those discussions that have long since digressed from their original topic, and are now like wild horses, never to revisit the original issue. It substitutes a simple nudge from many people for troll feeding piling on, and can bring useless threads to a somewhat dignified end, without having to get all up in the face of 100 casual poster that just won't let things die. I like it. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
