Topic has vague core theme - Going to close down soon - Please, summary messages only
This topic's beginning is such that most anything could be considered to be at least vaguely on-topic. I think we need to direct the various sub-themes to be in more specific topics, be they existing or new proposals.
Plan of the moment - Close this topic down sometime in the next 24 hours.

It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon.
There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots. Message 150

OK - Wasn't near a computer yesterday.
Closing time - More specific topic theme(s) needed. Also, good topic titles.
