The state of the forums!

Come on people! Please let's keep these forums sensible. We have
had an enormous amount of feedback on the current content of the
posts. Some people who have requested some control are the same
people against whom control has been requested! Moderating forums
is a difficult business and we'd really rather not have to do it - our
time is very stretched as it is.

Please help us out here - of course there's nothing wrong with
moderate flaming so long as it doesn't degenerate into outright abuse
and make it unpleasant for a lot of people who may stop visiting the
forums as a result.

Thanks for your help,
Chris
