made a suggestion, as have others, for the creation of separate 
lists for 'higher-quality' discussion with, as Carolyn & Barry 
suggested as one of their solutions, stricter guidelines for posting 
to said lists. 


Valky replies:
Actually, I am not sure that I am understood completely. The extra 
lists that I propose have far less to do with elitism than asking 
members not to post until they have something um "good enough" by 
the standards of others.

I notice that in your post you have mentioned that the tennis 
debates are your pet peeve. Well, as a frequent debater myself I 
would also like to add that a large number of my personal list 
contacts were made through someone writing me personally to tell me 
*they* were thoroughly enjoying reading the debate.
All I am saying is that in the past HPFGU has endeavoured to embrace 
everyone, and I credit a great deal of the HPFGU popularity to that 
optimism and fair treatment.
Should we know be telling these people that we once embraced into 
our fold those feelings have changed and that they are no longer 
welcome?
