Re: [9fans] sources down

I guess it's a choice we need to be free to make. Sometimes the effort
involved in making something sufficiently polished for publication is
too much, when one is too self-conscious to dump a dog's breakfast for
the Internet to vomit over forever (no reflection over David's
coding).

There isn't a good place to draw that line, Devon, let's just
encourage posting, maybe offer to help tidying up. If that doesn't
work, then one must just accept the choice made by the originator.

Lucio.

PS: To push the point a bit: forty odd years ago the anecdote I heard
involved an APL one-liner that erased itself on completion. I think
that is "justified".
