Just one example: web > forum users can edit their posts, but email users can't. That has advantages and disadvantages. You can make corrections to your own post, although older replies will still be using the wrong info. And people delete things in fits of pique. I don't participate in reddit, but many times when an internet search has referenced it as your answer, it's often like reading an argument that went on in a pub. > Another one: forum users assume that the whole thread is visible for > context, so often don't quote anything. I find it far more common, everywhere, that people unnecessarily do full-quoting. Apart from the waste of space, it makes it very hard to understand what someone is replying to as they usually reply without due thought. The full-quoting is exacerbated by clients (mail or web) that mute the quotes from being seen, so the respondent pays little heed to their inclusion. This is Linux, we should be on usenet! ;-) Joking aside, newsgroups were far superior to mailing lists and forums (cached, no email addresses needed to post that would be exposed to spammers, better filtering options [follow and ignore], hosted by someone else so you didn't need to host servers, etc). -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
