Guys,
Whatever the decision is with General Chat by the moderators, that's fine by me and will go with it. In understanding this though (and I haven't been on the site for a couple days so may have missed stuff) please keep in mind there are a lot of forum first timers (myself included) who are learning the social structure and protocols of such sites for the first time, who may unintentionally make gaffs, and who will take their lead from the more experienced members and site founders.
Now this is NOT intended as having a go at Mike, but as an example that I remember, shortly after I joined in October Mike posted a thread on "Australian Idol". This transmitted a message to me very clearly that general chat was for anything including subjects as alien from astronomy as Australian Idol. Please be a little forgiving that some may have formed a wrong or unintended impression from such posts and that if a change in policy is required here that it is clearly communicated and consistently applied.
thanks for a truly WONDERFUL website and cheers,
