       Don't forget the other option:
  HTML http://newstalkback2.proboards.com/
       It will be moderated over there though. A radical new approach,
       where attacks on fellow members will be excised as a matter of
       course by Gandalf The White in an effort to have topical
       discussions without the board turning into a slugfest between
       members.  8)

       In other words: “control freakism!”
       I've always preferred the model practised by the late Dr Jack
       Salonen at the old Aussies' News Talkback Group where anything
       went and if people didn't have the balls to “take it” (i.e. were
       too thin-skinned), they were encouraged to bugger off. Dr Jack's
       ethos was that “it's hard-core on terra-firma and at Aussies'
       News Talkback and if you don't like it, then fūck-off!!”
