AMEN !! I agree to all your points .

The action taken has obviously lead to a whole board full of discussion about
all Moderation issues one could imagine while it has only been 3 weeks since
there have been threats of it being better than ever ( and I agree here).

Well , as for today the Message Board is completely unreadable due to the action
taken .

The DB threads have always been the most boring ones to me but they are
completely on-topic and when thinking about who posted abusive things in them it
isn't "Gerber" who comes to mind .

Silently closing his account until identity proven would have still been much
more useful  IMO .

It is hard for me to understand about this on-topic / off-topic discussion
anyway ; there are tons of threads about hardware , this computer being faster ,
that having better L1-Cache , how can this be on-topic ? There are great
newsgroups for this .

In fact I even doubt a little about those CM6000-personality-ones ( but this is
probably more a question of personal interest ) .

Whereas the question for a good C++-book is of much higher interest to me
although probably not more on-topic than the hardware stuff.

It's probably all a question of common sense , dust will soon have settled down
again ( don't know how this translates :-) ).

And in fact I think it would be great if the moderators insisted again that
every "Moderation" post has to have "moderation" in the subject line to give
people a chance to avoid them ( and I am sure that the people who _don't_ want
to read them are the vast majority ) !
