As I said before, as humans, our attention is always directed 
immediately to the most emotionally salient content.

But most threads, the vast majority in fact, do not contain 
emotionally salient content. People should try directing their 
attention to those for a change.

Even the title of this thread contains emotive content.

So I wouldn't be suprised if this thread becomes the very thread 
it didn't want to become ;-)

Please all, look at all the other threads, and keep the topic of 
this thread in context.

No negativity at all would indicate possible group think to me.

Errhhh!

That's the last thing D needs.
