X-Message-Number: 21181 From: (Rick Potvin) Date: Sun, 16 Feb 2003 07:46:28 -0700 (MST) Subject: ----On/off-topic--v.s.--Here/not-here---- TODAY'S FEATURE: On/Off topic vs Here/NotHere I've been considering the apparent problem of being on or off topic, on CryoNet since about Nov. 10, 2000. After thinking about it for more than two years it now appears to me that topic-centeredness is the wrong problem. More important to CryoNet and to cryonicists is the posting presence of as many of the 1000+ cryonicists as possible on a regular basis regardless of whether anyone else things the post is on or off-topic. For the complete idea, go here: http://network54.com/Forum/message?messageid=1045370179&forumid=144401 CRYONET UTILITIES: Try them. [FindAuthor] lets you see the history of posts of everyone who has ever posted to Cryonet! http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/findauthors.cgi [CryoNaut] is under development and introduces you to cryonicists in order of importance-- maybe. http://www.webspawner.com/users/cryonaut [Current Archive] is a quick way to scan the most recent contributions by subject line only. http://www.cryonet.org/0001211.html PROMO: Don't just lurk. CryoNet is still the #1 publication in cryonics! If you're just lurking, consider posting anything-- even an occasional hello. If you're a cryonics big-wheel, and haven't posted in a year or more, why not? CryoNet readers want to hear from you!
