when a number of bakers starts a side
conversation that has little to nothing to do
with the original topic, they should be able to
take their annos and place them in a separate
page linked to the main idea. reducing anno
clutter and still allowing the readers to see
the side conversations
that are sometimes
just as interesting as the main idea.
while this would be a choice for the bakers
annoing, it would also be possible for the
poster of the original idea to exhile annos to
this zone. it would appear as another link
where the edit and delete buttons are.

I know it's not quite what you're on about - but i thought it useful to mention... [Jinbish, Jun 29 2006]

that's exactly what i meant [phlish]. |

I think it is a good idea. However, it goes against what the site is about.
The halfbakery is all about the ideas, not the people or the conversations (incidentally, the conversations via annotations are some of my favourite things on the site). Jutta would be very cross if we were to turn this forum into a chat room. But have a [+] from me. |
|
| |
well [methinksnot] this would just move
the conversations out of the invention they
are posted on. that way they don't detract
from the idea as a whole. |
|
| |
I don't agree. Although it might be a good idea, I like all the side conversations. The *threads* weave in and out and make the tapestry much more colorful. |

[phlish] - That's one of the funniest things I've ever read. Unfortunately I'm in a conference right now and not allowed to start giggling. Mmmmph... gotta keep it innnnn... |

...I once worked at EDS as a contractor. My email address was "<me> (con)@eds.com". EDS has a strict policy that no emails shall contain rude words. Of course in French, con is the "C" word...
Maybe they were trying to tell me something. |
|
| |
Maybe something where the originator could grey out off-topic annos... |
|
| |
Personally, though, and for all that they're not what the HB is really about, I like the offshoots. So I'm abstaining. Like [xandram] said. |
|

Yes! But a ten-speed bike would be better, providing the terrain is mildly flat and you're not in a hurry to get there. |

(Yells down hall) Everyone gone? (12:18 AM EST) (gone from
Halfbakery?) (Turns out light.) (Goes home.) |
|

So right, [phlish]! Wish everyone was as insightful as you! (Oy...you others...Shhh! Keep quiet! [Mustardface] will hear you! ] |
|

Curly fries or normal [po]? |
|
| |
normal with salt & vinegar, ta. |

But then, I did not want to be dipsy. |
