I find WAP woeful. A chacun a son gout.
Confession: I put hard line breaks in because one person asked me to (on the
ExI list). I might change back; I do think it's a bit silly.
I agree that better reading/writing tools are needed. I wish CoV the best of
luck (or whatever the appropriate expression is in CoV-speak) with their
approach. 2002 and we still don't have wide acceptance of typed
(n>1)-directional links, nor decent filters. *Sigh* Sometimes I wonder if
search engines have provided a kind of lock-in disincentive for filters. I
know the Web has done that for typed n-way links. "It'll do anything you
want.... Why would you want to do _thaaaat_?"
As for cults, I'm fond of L. Sprague de Camp's working definition that a
religion is anything you're born into, and a cult is anything you convert to.

PS: why should we be using the ExI BBS, again?
