Chris,

I think you need to realise that the "creative ideas and suggestions" have
never stopped being posted to the list, and anger probably only makes people
more creative.

I agree that I have read enough griping at GW's expense, and I would like
people to be a little more polite - why only a month or less ago I was
described as a "jerk" (or some such other hideous slander :-) - but I have
skimmed the latest flames, formed my own opinion of the parties involved and
life goes on...

By and large I am sure that most people on the list will agree with your
suggestion that we all be a little more polite to each other and indulge in
a bit less GW bashing and I expect that the silent majority (how many people
subscribe to this list?) thank you for your effort...

PS If we need a topic for discussion, I really want fifty or more opinions
about why hordes of expendable garbage should be entitled to overwhelm the
"giants of the EPIC battlefield" when the rules probably suggest that they
really shouldn't be allowed to...
