account evaporation
slowly, without promotion, delete those that don't want to leave their say. | |
Search your own annotations and delete or edit any orphaned references to named account references that don't exist. Maybe a script could search annotations and reference one periodically, to be edited. This means a bit of checking would also be incorporated and a celebration of the ideas wanted to
be left.
This removes the ability of a null or void being able to allow someone to gain remembrance kudos . Out of sight out of mind and no longer important.
I hope I'm right but even indifferent or painful statements are more deserving of memory triggering.
But what about ....

.. sounds like editing the archaeological record- and where
will it end? What fun is damnatio memoriae for the future
if there are no breadcrumbs left |

In a Memory Hole in an obscure back office of the Ministry of Truth ... |

Having said that, ( and this may seem to contradict my
earlier comment) if you’re determined to change the
records, let’s do it properly. Sometimes obliterating people
leaves more traces, like obliterating a spelling mistake with
tippex, instead of changing that erroneous ‘o’ to an ‘a’ by
adding a little tail. |

I’m thinking of all those Stalin-era photos where people got
evaporated from the picture, only to leave an inexplicable
shadow on the furniture or a baby* or briefcase* they
happened to be holding levitating in mid-air. I always
thought they could have just added moustaches/long
hair/glasses to the original and said it was a different
person. (Who was going to argue?) |

So, as applied to hb just make some new accounts, ideas,
personnas and make sure their ideas and annos fit neatly
and logically into the conversations concerned. |
|

Is there a reason for this ? |

Deleted accounts might still exist at the copies of the HB
that are saved (random intervals) at archive.org |

[normzone] Italics could set apart the fanciful archaeological rewritings and subtle digs. |

[Vernon] It doesn't have to be wrote, that wouldn't be in the sentement of the Bakery. |

The only problem with this place is that it is whimsical, an annotation can be on point or a million miles away, that's why orphaned say is so darn annoying. If it was like the archaeological record, fact resting onto fact, it would be only another fair curve. |

Deletion or infill, repairing the holes is the only way to go. |
