Tue Apr 10 03:18:36 UTC 2007

A good and storied page.  It's nice to see old meta pages becoming useful 
over time... I agree that most of the useful pages on meta could use 
rewriting as an article, into the most coherent presentation [of what many 
people have contributed to a set of related essays, thoughts, and 
suggestions].
