Keith,
Despite the cod philosophy, your encouragement of "chat" on the discussion list is disappointing. As you say, it merely goes around in circles, often over (very) old ground, and comes to no conclusion. On this list, minor topics that have little to do with PhD studies are often relentlessly pursued at length by the same old opinionated group. I think that is the main reason why the list is held in disdain by many, and it certainly leads to people quitting the list in despair or anger (as recently).
As someone else wrote about some posts, "I smile and hit Delete". I think better advice to everyone would be "Just smile and hit Delete - before you hit Send".
