I tend to agree with this. Participation in a web-based forum does tend
to be more desulatory in some respects. I'm wondering if it might also
encourage more argument, as threaded posts /stay/ right where they are
and can be reread over and over again, whereas the text messages will
get deleted after a bit. *scratches head*
One thought, though, is that the text based messages do make formatting
stories mildly... interesting. It may be laziness on my part, but I sort
of wish that this one list had a way of posting the stories (at least)
in html format. I know that's one of the reasons I don't tend to prepost
here before sending things to the Pit of Voles (AKA ff.net).
