I’ve been emailed the report that PLAS themed discussions have continued to hijack numerous IPR threads, despite IPR policy. Some people have also countered that PLAS Thread I is too old and/or too long to serve its intended purpose. Thus, I am putting up a new one. Notes to readers, before you email me again: [...]
