I particularly like the point that if you turn the net into a paper, with limited posting rights (as Mark Horton has specifically suggested, in net.jokes of all places!), then its most valuable attribute is lost. I find the net interesting precisely because it allows arbitrary discussions. If I want to read refereed journals I can find quite enough to choose from without adding another one. -Jeffrey Soreff (hplabsb!soreff)
