It's good that boards are moderated, mostly to keep grown adults from fighting about nonsense, and it's just a good idea to be civil etc. But to say that Bill Pagel's thread was "butchered", as if it's a sacred virtual document or something, that's just ridiculous. There was nothing wrong with people hanging out on the setlist thread, sharing a little time together, posting about whatever. Let's not take ourselves too seriously here. The thread was fine until this Warren individual freaked, really, and what he said about a hypothetical person having m.s., that was the only
wrong comment on the whole thread. So have a nice day everyone, and yeah, this is just a message board.

It was never a good idea to butcher Bill Pagel's thread. And
the rest of it was just stupid, that is, the lack of confirmation
for contributors.
Seamus Heaney recently said "I'd better watch out that I don't
talk my self into a conclusion" I don't expect anyone to
comment about why I found it of interest.
Of one of his poems, he said, it was about receiving a gift
and being enjoined to "remember the giver". Excellent motives
all right.
