Ok, just sanity check here - I looked at subject line as to what we are 
talking about - which is communication difficulties and LWG and related 
issues. Part of the problem in OSM mailing lists is that discussions 
keep going off topic and this is even directly after I raised it as a 
problem. Given that is a significant problem, the question is how do we 
address it?

I suggest list moderation (which is community lead, not by a dictator) 
and a high standard of behavior set by the community leaders. (Yes, 
admittedly moderation takes volunteers but we need to agree on a plan 
before implementing it.) Can anyone think of a better plan?

Regards,

TimSC

PS I plan to disregard, as much as I can, all non-constructive input. I 
will probably only be partly successful though.
