Matt, what about creating an dragonfly.hardware list and associated 
newsgroup so hardware fanatics can flame each other without 
annoying/insulting/assaulting other users who beg to differ?

I hope you will be able to keep the extremely positive atmosphere of the 
lists, as it is a distinct strength of the project.

regards

Raphael

PS: having it as a newsgroup feed is just wonderfull.
