I had promised to stop this debate. Since this is a short answer, here goes.

This is certainly not true, ie, allowing every post. The fatal flaw again is
you are back to your hindusim is secular blah, blah, etc. You are assuming
that the material consequences and day to day effects of hinduism are not fit
for discussion in a moderated forum. Just because the proposers are not
interested in these topics they have relegated it to an unmoderated forum,
which is bound to be taken over by spammmers and irrelevant postings. Again a
case of shoving personal preferences down other's throats in the name of
vote-taking. Why can't the proponents of the RFD be more broad minded and skip
these posts? The traffic in srh certainly is not a problem.

While the current situation is not perfect by any means, it does not warrant
the major overhauling you gentlemen propose.
