Imagine "Here, lets browse to the forum now that was referenced in the email you received and lets see what's going on".
Snapshot- This afternoon.

This is my point.
I take your point but you shouldn't worry so much about a handful of unruly disjointed posts. If someone is interested in the debate they will pick up the jist of the thread by closer scrutiny. Anyone that can't discriminate the chaff from the wheat in an important subject discussion shouldn't really be in a position to make an informed judgement about the subjects context.

I totally agree with the great idea about the lookup index but I honestly don't see it happening. I think once and every couple of days we should post some sort of reference material that is added to over time so that a new reader to the forum can, in a nutshell, grasp what our main points are. These should include links to the better sites like your own and all obvious others.
I think the anti-phorm debate will take on some structure over the next few months and certainly over the years. People in Britain are just starting to wake up to this important privacy question -- they will want answers. Forums like these are the catalyst for greater public awareness so don't be disheartened when an idiot spoiler like HamsterWheel comes along to shanghai the event.


p.s. The Administrator saw fit to delete my post and issue me with warnings, nice. Looks like WobblyWheel will have to PM me if he wants to know what I wrote about him
