Since the last thread was closed and this one opened due to, to paraphrase: MartinV being all over it, I warn people to do their best to not rise to the posts made by MartinV, since that will surely guarantee the same state of affairs. MartinV's views on mimicry can be found at that thread, and perhaps it can be reopened once this one winds down so that MartinV can continue defending his position.
MartinV, whatever your opinion on this, might I politely ask that you allow this thread to develop with as little input as possible - even if it is only to allow our new member to get noticed. Judging by how much debate your views put forward, our new member might be overwhelmed.
Nothing hard and fast being demanded here, just that all members bare the above in mind. We can play it by ear for the time being. If it becomes a problem, I, or another moderator, will be stepping forward to take appropriate action (warnings, closures, suspensions etc etc).
Thank you.
