Subject: Re: [9fans] mishandling empty lists - let's fix it

I've been away for a while and I see that the list has become
troll-infested in my absence.  Not that there aren't still plenty
of intelligent people around, but the signal to noise ratio has
passed a certain critical threshold.  In general I prefer places
where most of the people who reply to posts have read them, and
perhaps even attempted to think about them.  Some of you may
remember when 9fans used to work like that.
