I think Mr. Dahl has seriously overreacted to Mr. Goriesky's impractical
suggestion.  I agree with other posters that limiting comments is not likely
to improve the level of the Museum-L discussion.  I didn't see anything
"threatening" about his comments, though.  He simply stated his sense of
wonder--possibly shared by others--that some subscribers have the time to
send as many messages as they do while still accomplishing their other work
assignments.  I say, more power to them if they can...and civil is as civil
posts.
