The WELL, one of the first on-line communities started in 1986 by Stuart Brand, publisher of the Whole Earth Catalog, had a topic, All Thrash - All The Time. It was a 24/7 flamefest where members could virtually duke it out on any subject at any time. It was devastatingly popular.

Maybe we need such a topic here?

Then instead of some members disrupting the product related conferences with their constant carping about everything under the sun (except the subject of the forum), these members could grumble and complain to their hearts content. And the rest of us could get on with the legitimate business of the forums.

What d'ya think?
