I gotta say ease back, buddy. I don't see anything wrong with generating ideas, even if they are just *gasp* speculation. How is anyone's ideas less relevant than your gripe...your posting could be accused of being part of the same problem. I think most of us filter through tons of messages per day from these lists so I don't think anyone is in a better position to judge which postings are 'useful' than anyone else. IMHO, I'd like to see a canning of the postings which are soaked in negativity. They are even less 'useful' than the random guesses about which you are complaining.
