This +1. I don't need to post, and in fact it's probably better if I
don't, but I actually *really* want to see what is going on under the
bonnet. I joined the dng list for probably the same reasons everyone
else did. I want to *use* what is produced and even possibly contribute
(bug reports and patches I suppose are my limits). I do understand the
technical components, and I don't want to ask user level questions.

I will say I'm completely disillusioned by the quantity of pontificating
and bike-shedding that seems to dominate this list and I'd love to read
a list with actual technical substance.

Don't lock us out. Moderate us, or create a read-only gateway, but don't
isolate us. Please.

Brad.
