And might I suggest that we have a FAT list - the Frequently Answered
Thread list.

If the flags issue comes up again, the moment it hits either d-d-l or
g-h, someone post with a reply quoting the FAT entry, and hopefully that
stops the thread. 

This means the barrier of entry is still open to all, yet, if someone is
out of place, the FAT list entry will put them in place. If they still
continue being "painful", then moderators can start looking at them.

/me senses the next round of discussions might be with regards to
spatial nautilus views as more mainstream distros push Gnome 2.6 out. A
FAT list will help stop the unnecessary discussion that will take place.
