[consulting] white screen of death question

[Sam Cohen]

Because it seems that the overwhelming majority of this list wants this to
be a place that consultants can ask whatever questions they want to one
another.

I am more than happy to help other consultants with support questions, if I
can, in a way that I do not want to help end-users.  Therefore, I like the
idea of a consultant only community helping one -another with support and/or
business questions..

However, it seems like there is a small but very vocal group on this list of
quite uptight folks who feel that their mission is to dictate what can and
cannot be discussed here.

I put out a poll where almost 90% of people said anything Drupal related is
ok, but the minority persists in their policing.

I think it would probably be helpful if the owner of this list just came out
and said what they want it to be, so we can stop this constant talk over
what does and does not belong here.
