Thanks for the feedback, particularly the technical aspects of
implementation. I think you have described it best as hamfisted.
When I've beaten the flu and my mind has cleared, I will look into the
solution you discussed.
As to the Creative Commons, I hadn't realized that content posted to a
CC-licensed site could be issued a different CC or none at all. Of
interest to me is that every posting from the listserv claims that
post is CC. Every ISED-L post that comes my way includes the caveat,
"Submissions to ISED-L are released under a creative commons,
attribution, non-commercial, share-alike license." I guess that's not
actually the case. I wonder if there is some sort of automatic filter
which can be applied by individuals so that their post which is
different from the default is somehow treated differently.
I am indeed sorry that the implementation of this idea has caused so
much consternation amongst the members of the listserv. Frankly, I am
absolutely amazed at the response both on the list and off-line. And,
had I known about the undocumented RSS feed from Syracuse, I'd never
have even attempted to build a feed. As the commercial says, "I
should have had a V-8."
Once this all stops boiling over, it might be interesting to examine
some of the underlying beliefs which support the various positions. I
find it most interesting.
Thanks for your thoughtful response.
Peace,
/s/ Peter
