I applaud the restraint and thought by the admins. I almost expected the usual 
(for other lists) "uh-oh, the natives are getting restless - let's squash this 
fast" response.

I think the 'religious' part of this comes from readers who view it religiously 
(or emotionally), at least as this thread has gone. As you say, filtering 
should not be a problem, and I doubt _every_ topic other than GW has had 100% 
interest... ;) GW certainly is 'of interest to engineers'.

Tread carefully. There are a lot of ways to lose critical mass, with more tags 
being one of them. I find the list useful as a condensation of material (or 
thought) available online, without always having to read every word of every 
post as some sort of slave to it. Without point-counterpoint, the would be much 
less information offered, and I don't always know what I don't know in advance. ;)

Thanks.
