What I think would be nice for 'mining' forums like this would be for a publisher trying to stay on the edge have an editor pick out a few threads, from different forums perhaps, that appear to be testing new waters and invite critque and response.
That would somewhat correct the problem I see with the linear thread structure of these open forum discussions at least. Mostly things don't get integrated and discussed here because every reply tends to change the subject. You get a random walk of thinking rather than neigborhoods well explored. phil > > > Hi all, > > FRIAM should publish a book that contains chapters written by the > most prolific of the FRIAM emailsters.
