Makes sense.  Thanks for explaining.

I don't need no stinking archives to know I'm wrong.  <wink>

Anyway, I think we're in violent agreement.  By publish then filter, I mean
for example this:

Rather than putting up obstacles to people creating third party Zope
products (i.e., learning and using a bug tracking system, requiring them to
write documentation), let them party on.  However, you can provide style
guides, provide a feedback system--all voluntary stuff that lets the
community generate and filter quality.

If I still misunderstand your point, please clarify.

> I do not believe.  There are proves in the archive that you are wrong.

Rather than asserting that my entire Being is Wrong, it hurts a little less
if you say, "What you are saying is not true."  <wink>
