My point was for it to be less about me, and more about my ideas that have yet to be addressed.

This response Lee just provided, shows two of my points that I have enumerated on
http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_media :

That list based emails encourage the author to make each email stand on its own , which Lee
demonstrated by actually choosing not to re-include the important information, but only enough to
mount a small point of personal criticism.

AND

That people have no idea what has been addressed by Lee's email by just looking at the list of
emails because of another point on http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_media (and which I also
stated in the previous email, but was also not reincluded) OR to whom it was addressed as changing
the title on a non-threaded system causes havoc.

Namely: "where in a good threading system like slashdot's where you know if there have been
replies or not. Where you *can*
change the title of your repsonse while not worrying about its placement in the thread."
