I didn't know that gNS had a forum.

Why not just teach all the "forum people" to learn the basics of
electronic communication -- how to cite properly, avoid top-posting,
etc. and learn the principle of avoiding annoying others and
respecting their time -- and finally, annihilate the forum (and all
nefarious facilities of that kind) once and for all?  It is a
nuisance, unmaintainable, un-followable and un-replyable mess, and a
genuinely bad idea just like the "invention" of HTML mail and all the
gancy (sic) things that followed it.

Not that I want to sound ironic, but why didn't you post this request
to the forum?  (Hint: Because no sane person reads forums, and it
would be like a voice in a desert.  Even people who read them can't
follow all the possible posts, simply because that's not feasible and
doesn't scale even in the slightest way.)
