Yes…yes, it IS terrible when someone says how horrible Dopers are.
By the way, are you still stalking him off-board, sending him e-mails demanding he respond to you and so forth?
As an aside to anyone else who’s not freaked out by the idea of discussing different forum paradigms, I think the discussion’s fascinating. I like that Coding Horror is looking at other ideas for how message-boards could function. I think that the front page of his site is fugly beyond words (although, it’d be 50% less fugly if you got rid of the “participants” column. Man, that’s useless AND horrible looking). But some of the ideas are good…or at least worth talking about. Using Irishman’s great summary, #s 3 and 5 are great ideas for discussion.
