I know that was your intent and we tried hard to stay focused in 
that thread, and it was working reasonably well, but now we have 
another thread to deal with that is disconnected from the first 
thread, resulting in people repeating themselves all over again. 
I know it was rejected a thousand times before, but solving the 
disconnection problem was one reason for asking to move the forum 
into a web based version that could be managed (ie this type of 
forum cannot be managed at all it seems). The other alternative 
was to discuss everything in the wiki page, but people found that 
to be not so good as can be seen by looking at the wiki as well 
as the comments concerning its use for that purpose.

It would be nice to have a better solution for the community to 
perform cooperative problem solving than what we have now, which 
also leads on to resolving other problems such as the endless 
repeating disconnected discussions on other subjects of 
importance. I don't want to stray off topic, so just keep in mind 
that there may be a more significant issue that should be 
resolved immediately after we get past the current one.
