I know it is annoying to have to search for your topic. However, it's even more annoying to have a bunch of disjoint threads hanging around on the same topic. If too many disjoint threads are developed, I'll delete some of them, and they might be yours.

If anyone already knows how to, please send an e-mail to   wwu@ocf.berkeley.edu   Thanks!

After all you aren't a control freak, are you?   How about using something more mature than web boards? From experience I find most of the time web boards tend to attract childisch users. How about mailling lists (with a web archive), or newsgroups, or maybe something else I don't think about currently.   Well BTW: the post no threads double thread, is there several times! Now so thats also a paradox IP Logged Pages: 1  Reply Notify of replies Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- riddles -----------------------------  - easy   - medium => hard   - what am i   - what happened   - microsoft   - cs   - putnam exam (pure math)   - suggestions, help, and FAQ   - general problem-solving / chatting / whatever ----------------------------- general -----------------------------  - guestbook   - truth   - complex analysis   - wanted   - psychology   - chinese « Previous topic | Next topic »
