ahhh
did not use quotes, and it sure did not work so well
but even so, the problem remains; all citations are not the same as useful citations
but making a search function that is also a filter, . . . .
just thinking that a compendium of informative and useful stuff should be more accessible
consider the OCers topic listing
now if such were severely edited to remove fluff and outdated and simply inaccurate articles,
and a branching hierarchy more clearly defined
- it might be more useful
or consider the news forum here
sure something may get a posting along with all kinds of other foolishness, THG droppings, etc
and in time it will dissappear along with everything else
this is a loss (at least for the useful references)
on another thread a WCing component calculator was discussed
hell, lets try something much more basic, and useful
why not a list so we don't forget what has already been 'learned' ?
much of the real 'problem' is the reluctance of many to actually go to such a reference
but if it were easy to use then forceful POINTING could occur
- such pointing is not permitted on OCers, contributing greatly to its repetitious uselessness
I have recieved an e-mail:
"As far as why other sites don't cross-link, I don't think it has to do with ego so much as fear. Readers are fickle. The real reason may have to do with fear. What if the readers like the other sites better?
Mass migrations have happened before. It doesn't take too much to piss off the readers of a site or forum."
ok, but that works in both directions too - perhaps they could be attracted ?
