Choate: Moron or obstinate? The truth is somewhere in between. As Choate knows, many news sites keep URLs active for quite a while. Wired.com URLs from 1995 still work, for instance. And search engines aren't always updated or don't always work that well. Etc. Like I said, a little of both. -Declan On Sun, Jan 07, 2001 at 09:47:38AM -0600, Jim Choate wrote:
Hi Meyer,
Unfortunately there is no guarantee the URL is stable either.
The point being you've got the topic and they have a search engine.

Choate, you're either a complete moron or the most obstinate person I've ever encountered. One would expect sciencedaily.com's website to change daily. Hence the name. Now, when someone reads this message of yours two weeks from now and wants to see what it is that you were talking about, they're not going to be able to find it. Quantum computing will have been replaced by stories of monkeys trading sexual favors for food in the front page headlines.
"Well, I have to do it this way or Tim will yell at me for posting HTML" you say.
Wrong. Post a direct link. Everyone's happy. You don't look stupid. We all win.
