Yes - but what I think may be being missed is that some people actually *enjoy* 
that 'plodding, pedantic, discussion', as you describe it. Some of us don't think 
there'd be anything particularly wrong with a list where people just discussed 
matters in a straightforward fashion and don't feel any great need for flights of 
whimsy.

I think that's why there's a discussion going on here (-8

I also think 'organised' whimsy is less whimsical than whimsy that just happens (-8
