I'm pretty happy with the solution. Anyone compelled to remain opted-out is probably not at all interested in the religo-political discussions anyway. While mobileread is friendlier than most, these discussions still get somewhat heated, and are really a dime a dozen on the Internet anyway. Having a sanctuary from such discussions can often be a breath of fresh air. And the beauty here is that the sanctuary exists by default, but the hard-core debates are there if you want them. -Pie |

It's great that you banned such fairy tales like religion in special 'forum threads'.

Perhaps copyright and DRM discussions could join that forum as well? I think I won't opt-in, as I usually end up posting there in reply to a particularly outrageous post, so it will be best if I don't read such posts at all.

I like it Alex, et.al...
One request, if somebody is off-topicing a thread into one of those areas, could one request the post be branched into the "religion and politics" thread? I personally plan to remain opt-ed out. I want light-hearted worldviews (but you're always welcome at my campfire, Recluse). I get enough righteousness elsewhere in my life. |

That was my immediate thought, but maybe that's because I'm easily confused by divergence. Cheers, Marc |
