A 'yart' call should be accompanied by the relevant link to the archival post... it kinda takes the edge off of the assignee and the assignor.My hand's up and my head's nodding, FWIW
I like the occasional bit of thread resurrection achieved by adding new posts to an old thread, too - at least where the old thread isn't too huge. A link to a past thread doesn't have to be taken as in any way fobbing off people or as suggesting the subject has been exhausted.
The thing is this place
does have a history, and it's full of goodies. And I'm as happy providing links to AWAD as to external sites. Why should I not be?
As to the errrm
meta information, well, I only found out what *rimshot meant about a week ago, by doing an AWADtalk Search for "rimshot" and "mean" (I think). No problem - David (dxb) had asked the same question not very long ago. YART has been defined so many times, I feel sure I could do the same with that word. Knowing how to Search is the thing then, but - let's face it - that's a generally useful Web skill rather than an imposition. There's gold in them thar Searches.
Do Max Q's (and Jo's) helpful hints still exist somewhere?
