I would prefer to see the list become more 'understanding' and allow these
topics to intermixed. I think unless we are more accepting of other ideas
and possible solutions we might just get obsoleted out of existence.
 
Besides, how can anyone in good conscience slam something unless they have
tried it themselves. If we separate the lists then this list will become
mpe ONLY and I don't think that serves us all very much.
