Bill, I don't want to believe that you're suggesting that "the best laptop" is not relevant to Devel-L, but that it's being discussed for too long. Experience has taught us that people will continue to talk about an exhausted topic if they have nothing else to discuss. It should therefore be possible for you to divert netters' attention away from "the best laptop" by introducing a new topic which is relevant to Devel-L. Or what do you think?
