I was just chatting about the pd list with David Merrill, and he
brought up a good point. Basically, some of the sarcasm and
grumpiness will surely scare away many newbies from this community.
As a sometime grump, I would like to call for a grump moratorium. Of
course, I can't expect a complete lack of grumpiness and sarcasm, so
I think it can be regulated by a simple rule: only be grumpy or
sarcastic to people you have met in person.
Just my two bits...

more direct solution... It may sound small in theory, but it in
practice, it can change entire economies. - Amy Smith
