Hello Willy, I hope you didn't misunderstand me.
I didn't ask to let everyone participate in LSC decisions.
I just wanted to have the LSC forum opened here for posts from non-LSC people.
The advantage would be that anyone feeling the urge to contribute to a discussion could do that.
If you fear spam etc., you can still block such accounts, and a spam problem is also something
other forums could suffer from.
I have a problem following your counterargument "it's the rule", because it is that rule which I'm arguing against,
so it shouldn't be used as a pro-argument on itself I think.
Your other point that people pick up things is quite valid, but I still don't see why this picking up mechanism
should be better than allowing a direct reply in the forum thread.
