We agree on very little, but one thing we do agree on is the quantity of |
| 31 |
trolling that DOES occur on -dev when these issues are brought up. Is |
| 32 |
there any method by which a discussion can be had on -PMS in a smaller |
| 33 |
forum, and a proposal could thereby be brought to -dev in several weeks |
| 34 |
agreed upon here, and subsequently submitted to the Council? I'm hoping |
| 35 |
this will reduce the potential for trolling. |
