You mean a response among a smallish percentage of list readers. If
more than 90% of the list have good filters and/or are low maintenance
enough to ignore posts they aren't interested in (remember, fewer than
10% of the list voted to kill the certification discussion), then as
Danny Wood says, this thread is really just a more politically correct
version of an annoying recurring thread that the large majority of folks
simply ignore.
Human nature is just so fascinating.
