I've been on these lists from the early days as well. I've seen some
interesting discussions, however I was never under the impression that
this was as big of a problem as some people seem to portray it. Does
anyone have any metrics on how many of these "inappropriate" threads
there truly are in relation to how many are "appropriate"? I think it
would help make this issue much more clear. For example, if we are
talking about less than 1% of all posts are "inappropriate", then that
is a heck of a lot different than if it is 35%. Similarly, if there are
say 10,000 posts in a month, 1% is a bigger problem than if there are
only 100 posts per month.
So, do we have some actual numbers or is it just a "gut feel"?
