Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2000 03:18:59 -0500 I'm not sure what you mean by Slashdot-like, but the (rather, one) problem with Slashdot itself is that it's more of an online newsgroup than a coherent collection of web pages. My impression is that's really discussion, and I kind of like 9fans for that. Imagine an entire coherent web site dedicated to explaining various common problems, etc., except that no one person has to maintain it, and it just evolves over time. It's a giant collaborative reference. That's quite neat. Russ --upas-nfzfpwxunbcjqjggvufaxzelsy--
