came along. I hope this will not comparable to either beating OR eating
a dead horse, one being much more satisfying than the other.<BR>I misused the
quote from David Love which was extracted from a message posted to both CAUT
and Pianotech. He was not referring to the discussion about List-pedia,
or the like, though he may, in fact, feel that way. His post was
addressing the Sostenuto debate and, presumably, the renewal of an acrimonious
atmosphere. I apologize for data revisionism.<BR>Jon's point has been
that there already seems to be an viable existing form of pedia that utilized
information from the list. My point, which seems to be getting lost
regularly, is:<BR><BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE class=cite cite="" type="cite">Protocols that would enhance the
daily dialogue and minimize confusion (quoting; titles better reflecting
content, etc.)<BR>Effective individual methods for handling list

refined search capabilities / organizational structure of existing

(or wouldn't) easily, refer to the specific previous discussions you
referenced to sollidayfy the point you were making. <BR><BR>Happily,<BR>David

The CAUT community has been trolled enough for any fish that will bite (at
least twice) and the fish ain't bitin'. Alan M and I and several others
tried about 18 months ago, to the best of my recollection, and I'm not going
to search it to be more precise. The program (that Alan offered) we looked
at to accomplish this was difficult to learn, at least for me. and once we
looked at the learning curve and the planning and implementation time there
just wasn't enough love to make it go. So good bye yellow brick road and
let's get off the vanity of discussing a good idea which no one doing the
discussing is willing to pursue. As Jon has pointed out we have a pretty
good vehicle right now, all we need do is to keep putting good fuel into
it.<BR>And if by some chance someday someone has the motivation and time and

published in an article.<BR><BR>
