[consulting] white screen of death question

[David Notik]

I vote for avoiding these discussions altogether.  Let anyone send out
anything.  If you don't like it, delete it, filter it, whatever, rather than
spend your time and clog everyone's inbox policing.  This is a group of
consultants, let them discuss as they wish.  If it becomes a rampant
problem, we'll know it, and we'll deal with it then.  Right now, it just
seems like a real small but vocal minority has an issue.  If you don't like
what this list is, from either direction, splinter off.  A candid suggestion
to first try the regular, dedicated support channels is in order, anything
more is ridiculous and clogs the inboxes of those of us following.

Love,
