You miss one important factor in these discussions: the silent
majority of readers. We have a few people here who are not "worth"
responding to, as they're highly unlikely to listen (the most
noteworthy other example being jmf on Unicode), but that doesn't mean
the threads can't be useful to someone else. And sometimes there can
be some extremely entertaining conversation, too.

That's also why I don't plonk anyone :)
