And I get more convinced every day now that further participation in this forum is just a waste of time and effort.

I would be sad if you chose to leave, as I enjoy our exchanges.

Lamford's suggestion that insufficient bids are not infractions is threatening to hijack the thread, so I have posted an answer to it in a separate thread.

Returning to the original topic, I would just add that traffic on this board has decreased noticeably over the last couple of years. If we start banning topics there might be nothing left to read.

"Mark them in the title" got the most votes, so we'll go with that for now. Also, two people have volunteered to become moderators. I'll have to talk to inquiry about getting that done, I think, as I don't think I can just do it.

This thread has served its purpose, so I'm closing it.

BTW, I've added some words to the first post in the "forum rules" topic, so please check that out.
