I looked at Hailey's and Hayhoe's old posts in the archives, some of
them in lively discussions about important issues. The other posters
certainly *seemed* interested. Does he think they were faking it?
Ranting and venting can be good for the soul, but that's not how the
work gets done. I know my own work gets done better and faster because
of TECHWR-L.
