Yes, you only need to look at some of the more popular news groups to see
how the purpose of a debate can dissipate. I think AUUG has fewer than 1000
members - I can't see more than a handful getting involved with any one
issue at a time but there will doubtless be occasions when everyone will
want to be heard so whatever system is proposed should be able to cope
with large forums.
