The problem with Talkers etc for this type of forum is that thay have no
real sense of history or context -- finding something that was said back
when and replying to it much later with a decent frame of reference is
damned near impossible. They're are also a bitch to log in a form which
can be decently read/parsed, intelligently clipped from.
>Of course email tends to be more thought out and leisurely.
Yup. It also provides a paper trail so that any thread can be traced back
all the way to its roots and forward to its (possibly many) conclusions.
I keep logs of everything here (I never delete any email, no matter how
trivial) cross-indexed and searchable up the ying-yang by various
automated tools for that very reason. It gives a sense of context and
reference that I feel is invaluable. MUD chat is just too ephemeral.
((this is probably why I'm so lost without my archives at work))
>Just a thought.
If the cable modems do come in here (looks like it) I do intend to make
the list archives available along with various other collected documents
and references.
