Yes, I think that it is time to draw this thread to a close. I
understand that many issues on this list will evoke strong feelings
and debate. This is a good thing, and I don't want to jump in too
prematurely. However, I think we should all recognize on this list
that we need to provide analysis, context and data for what we assert
and that moralist assertions and judgments are inappropriate.
Best,
Your Mod, Amy
