Actually, if it gets people off the usual usenet path of chopping up a
post into tiny pieces and responding to each piece individually, I'm
all for it. You've seen as many exchanges as I have that turn into a
large stream of tit-for-tats* descending into minutia that have no
overall coherency and completely miss the larger points of the original
discussion.
