Partly on Posting limits Plus Plenty of Rambling

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?

Hey, Valky. Just as you are, I thoroughly enjoy the debates and often 
participate in them ( yes, in tennis exchanges too. Must go iron my 
fingers now :o))

I am also completely for embracing everyone, because just as KathyK 
said, if when I was joining the rules for newbies were that 
stringent, I don't know if I would want to stick around.

But I am not sure if I want to see division on smaller lists by 
topics and ESPECIALLY by "quality control", like quality control on 
one list is much tighter than on the other.

That is elitist approach, IMO.

Am I being clear? I don't think that I LIKE quantity control much 
either, but if I were to choose, I would rather pick fewer posts on 
the list, but diverse ones.

To make a long story short, I want to see different types of 
arguments on one list, I guess.

And of course I don't want  the posts to be returned 
for "substantive" reasons, unless they are "me toos" or one liners, 
or just rude.

Just my opinion,

Alla
