Can you imagine what a better place this newsgroup would be if the newsgroup
guidelines enforced by TeamB prohibited any discussions of the quality or
characteristics of other peoples' posts or their personality? No more TeamB
bashing, no more anti-devrel witch hunts, no more piling on those that once
used multiple aliases, and no more "I know you are but what am I?" infinite
regressions. Just interesting conversations about Delphi and software
development.
I for one would glady support any such "censorship", even though I might
sometimes get censored myself. What do the rest of you think?

Let's all just hold hands and sing "Kumbaya"
Or more fitting, we could all sing "Imagine"

Do you really think that has been working? I'm not so sure lately.

If we all held hands, singing or not, we would have problems typing, I
agree.

You type your code? I dictate mine to my secretary while getting a backrub
from my personal masseuse. I guess the job benefits in Europe are not as
good as I thought

I am a simple hobbyist. But in my clinic, I have a few assistants. There
I dictate.
