We ought to create an online forum (once we get through this, after the
official release, etc.) where we can talk about whatever we want, TDE-related
or not, technical or not, so that the mailing list can be kept for its
intended purpose.
Otherwise, people will keep forgetting that they are only human, and the
conversation will keep going off the rails, and other people will keep
getting angry ... and so on to infinity. In other words, it will be like it
is now, only keep getting worse. Or, we could try something different.
