[Search-l] [Appreciation]

[William Surowiec]

I have found the links provided by many posters to be informative. I 
believe this is a valuable contribution to the community and should be 
encouraged. I have two suggestions to foster this and invite commentary 
and other suggestions.

First, let the author know of your appreciation assuming it exists and 
privately if possible. I know I have been remiss in this. I intend to 
mend my ways. To those who wonder if they should post a link to 
something that may be of interest to others I ask that you do so.

And I apologize to those who already have and have not heard from me. I 
believe I have visited every link offered and have frequently felt like 
a kid in a candy store - and behaved as inappreciatively as only a child 
may be permitted: taking things for granted. Also, for those already 
practicing this, please accept this posting as from one approaching the 
light and not a claim that there is no one there.

Second, there is an associated wiki to this mailing list 
(http://search.wikia.com) I wonder if a filter might be created, 
monitoring the mailing list for postings with links and automatically 
updating a special "raw" page.It would function as input into a human 
refined listing of links, an extract of the original author email 
(context), and subsequent commentary (directly posted on the edited wiki 
page.). I offer this in the belief that emails are more ubiquitous and 
potentially less intimidating than wiki page editing.
