I think what Nory was saying is that the list needs a variety of posts to
keep everyone happy. And nobody said anything about somebody who doesn't
like it needing to just leave. Why force certain posts off the list, if
some people might enjoy it? Saying that the list should be a little more
open rather than more closed is not an "a or b" proposition, it's more of a
"why not a and b?" proposition. The only way I can imagine you engaging in
the sort of logical fallacy necessary to call this hypocrisy with a
straight face is if you're perhaps still bitter about the "netiquette"
thread, perhaps. So what if Nory likes an occasional cat joke; she also
makes a lot of good technical suggestions. And while we're at it, nobody
"forced" any "good" people off the Triumph list. And I notice you don't
have any trouble deciding who the "good" people are in so far as your own
idealized list is concerned. Were you a hall monitor in high school,
perchance?
