Would it encourage bonding with individual posters or subgroups rather than with the community as a whole? Would that necessarily be bad for the community as a whole?
What do you think the effect has been of regular email between posters?
Regarding more technical issues, my idea is:
1. Not to monitor babblemail directly, but to ask recipients to contact me if they feel the feature has been abused. I guess if it comes to that, the current civility guidelines would apply?
2. So I'd need to be able to verify that specific babblemails actually were sent. I was thinking I'd keep a log of who babblemails whom, when, and "fingerprints", but not actual copies, of the messages.
Let me know what you think,
Bob
