Little may you know. Petr is one of the very active participants on the
Rebol mailing list. Petr is also someone who I've had far more productive
communications with (especially in comparison to the clearly negitive post
that can often be found here.)

He is one of the very few people I've had private IRC communication with
during an Amiga show w/IRC communications going on. Little did he know I
was having another private chat with Joe Torre at the same time.

Easy now. My stand is one of knowing no inside information. So don't ask
what Joe and I where communicating if you are looking for inside info. I
don't have any. On the other hand, I met Joe many years ago thru the first
AAi year.

To say Rueish is to not realize just how much an active and productive
member of the community I am.

You might say I'm something of a wild card, to be played when the time is
right. I know I am an important card that will be played in the final
winning hand. But I also know, just as it happened with my talking with
Petro, that it'll happen not as much from planning as it will naturally,
when the time really is right (so don't even try to create an illusion of
it appearing to be the right time to play the card. It just won't work.
And other have tried to do this.)

On the opposite end of your claim of filtering out, there was once a
weekly summary of csa.misc that was posted to the csa.misc newsgroup and
maybe a few others. The summaries where done in a manner that was somewhat
disconnected from being biased.

The summaries often included the more productive, as you say, rueish posts
or threads. The same sort of threads that many ignore in their biased
focus of looking for the negative.

Perhaps there was an experessed bias communicated to the party creating
the summaries that cause the fairness of the summaries to be discontinued?
