Indeed -- I think we need to make sure we are not losing sight of the
*purpose* of this -- I had always understood it to be a signal to the
top posters that they may be dominating the conversation, and to
consider taking a step back / deep breath and let others speak as
well.

I think that 5 long and considered posting are much much more helpful
(and certainly less harmful) than 25 really short back and forths. I
personally think that the "length" metric should be dropped, or is
just a "meh, 'tis easy to report, why not?!" sort of thing...

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad
idea in the first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing
regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair
of pants.
