Riding the clue train...
3 items:
There's no way to comment, even by email, without subscribing?
I can't comment on the DF on only one item, I have to comment on the entire stream, apparently.
The little Frontier icon as a pointer to the discussion group is a touch elitist. I know about Frontier, but not everyone does.
Part of being clued is making sure you cut the right line between expecting from and leading your audience. Tune that a bit, 'eh?
Ask Jakob; I'm sure he could suggest...
Oh; a fourth: Just like DaveNet, these pages are slightly too wide to fit my 640x480 screen. Note: "get a bigger monitor" isn't an acceptable answer, nor an option; my lunchbox portable has a custom Cirrus 6235 card to drive it's LCD that _is not upgradeable_. Oops.
Now, my _actual_ comment:
Jabber. "Your contact list is kept on the server".
And you're _plugging_ this? Privacy is no longer a concern, is that it? Information about me, and whom I know, should only be being released when I tell it to.
Yes, traffic analysis, logging, and false senses of security; I know. But, still... such obvious breaches of privacy are pushing things a touch, I think. I don't mind the idea of one client to deal with all the protocols, but who caused the Jabber team to think they're not going to play armor-and-armament with AOL and MS? It's not really in those companies commercial best interest for their protocols to hit a proxy server...
