- How did re-re-rehashes of the interpretations of quantum mechanics make
- it's way onto the scrap heap? How does eliminating such discussions fit
- in with the goal of making sci.physics.research "lightly" moderated?
- (No, I did not miss the "re-re-re" in "re-re-rehashes".)

- If folks - and especially the other moderators!! - think I've gone
- overboard here, I would gladly recant, especially if we follow Corscadden's
- suggestion and label quantum mechanics interpretation posts in such a
- way as to make them easily kill-filed. The general issue of threads
- that endlessly chase their own tail is perhaps inadequately addressed in
- Austern's proposal; I had the sense from discussions with moderators
- that such threads would be discouraged... but maybe I was mistaken.
