I have been having a running discussion with Alex Quilici (yes,
of ucla-cs fame!) about what the purpose of net.flame is. In his
latest message to me, he pointed out that it was academic what we
felt, it is important what the consensus of the net is. I agree
(even though my conception of net.flame differs from Alexs). So,
I propose the question,
  
 W H A T   I S   Y O U R   I M P R E S S I O N   O F   T H E 
 
         P U R P O S E   O F   N E T . F L A M E?

Please respond, preferably by Email. I will summarize Email responses 
and post the results to net.news.group. 

Note that, although I have my opinion in the matter, I will try
and be impartial and not reply to letters sent me. Authors will
be credited with their works. Abusive articles will go to the bit
bucket. Decorum is appreciated.

Daniel

Don't have good ideas if you aren't willing to be responsible for them.
