I'd like to vote, but all the choices are biased against Joe... I have nothing against Joe, I just wish he'd exercise self-restraint re: cutting & pasting, replying to emails with their full text for just one or two lines of new thought, and the concept of staying on one subject heading so it's easier to save/move/read/ignore everything relating to this middle east debate.
I really believe that an IRC debate with logs available - or even sent to the list as one document! - is a great way for Joe & Hermit to get their once and for all out of the way.
I love reading the list, and I can wade through this till it's over, just like this time last year (until what? well into December?). But a debate on IRC would be both entertaining and more pointed, as hopefully the debators would rely more on their own thoughts - and perhaps they would be limited by time to succinct points, rather than multiple volumes hurled back and forth. I would greatly look forward to reading the log of such a debate! Please reconsider, Joe! Really, though all are interested in your POV, this many people saying your choice of forum is a problem would indicate that, if only out of politeness, you consider moving (even temporarily, not exclusively) to another, perhaps more appropriate, medium.
