A review in my reading diary.

PS. When was it published?

((Hmmm... yet again I notice that my terse expression makes a rude impression above. Well, as I can't edit it afterwards, I can just pre-emptively refer to the charitable reading, saying that I didn't intend to be rude here.))

(PS. Why on earth is editing disabled? It's a standard feature in BBS discussion.)

I don't bump into Tom a whole lot these days - our schedules rarely mesh, so I haven't had a chance to ask him when he wrote this.  Safe to say, however, that it's at least a decade old. 

thanks,

Hi Markus,

Editing is disabled on the Forge for two reasons.

1) There's been a case or two where someone has gone back and edited their posts to make themselves look better (in the petty argument sense)... even long after the conversation has ended.

2) No editing encourages people to think first, and look over their posts before just firing them off.

It  encourages in the sense of punishing those who don't.

It probably punishes those who are supposed to read it in the end, as well.
