(Webster's) Jon Rather evasive. I wasn't talking about the prefix "meta-" but about your "meta discussion" labelling. Still, play your games if you feel you must.

On the other hand, a lot of threads got lumped into the Meta*Discussion Forum when it was first created, and a few even now, simply so that I could clean up their digressions and apply a more disciplined style of discourse to them.
