I vote NAY.  This sounds like an attempt at self-censorship (remember the
thread about moderating this list, a few months back?)

Sure the population thread is somewhat off-topic.  Sure there may be better
groups for discussing it.  I for one needed this discussion to ask WHERE TO
FIND those other lists (since they do not show on a gopher word search for
population).

I think we are adults.   We know when we are straying off topic.  Look,
the population thread has already died down.  These brainstorm sessions
rarely last more than a couple weeks.  If a topic whips up a storm it
shows that people ARE interested in talking about it.  Those that don't
want to participate may use the 'd' key for the interim.
