I am satisfied with the GD format, for reasons that Graham himself has quite eloquently put forward.

I am not atempting to replace the GD.
Of course, people will eventually always do what they want, but what I'm proposing is a place for more medium-level discussion, as I find the basic oldbie/newbie polarity of the existing set-up to be a little stifling.
If this new list turned into a new GD and nothing else, then I'd have to conclude the experiment was a failure, except I suppose that it would at least tell us which format people preferred, the current GD one or the yahoogroup variety.

I personally like the current format of the GD, but why not ?
