[14:38:26] <Bytram> *story
[14:38:23] <Bytram> expanded DPRK and SLBM acronyms in sotory text
[14:33:10] <Bytram> 2nding DPRK
[14:30:43] <Bytram> heh. 'Rendezvous with ramen' ;)
[14:30:25] <Bytram> 2nding ramen

[14:29:05] <Bytram> 2nding gen threrapy
[14:28:34] <janrinok> 30-odd dupes or updates, but at least 50% of the remainder are worth submitting
[14:28:03] <Bytram> yowza! that would be just a bit much to chew through!
[14:27:35] <janrinok> It's probably a good job that it isn't fully automated....
[14:27:17] <janrinok> Arthur's now up to 196 possible stories so far today
[14:26:38] <Bytram> 2nding france and germany
[14:26:13] * Bytram clicks update
[14:26:00] <janrinok> yep - that's good
[14:25:48] <Bytram> I'm liking thatmuch better. you?
[14:25:37] <Bytram> SoylentNews has a long legacy going back to Chips & Dips, the predecessor site to Slashdot (from whose code SoylentNews was forked).
[14:25:25] <janrinok> sry - me being thick! Yep, that line looks good :)
[14:25:00] <Bytram> I haven't saved it yet; was wondering if that rewording was acceptable before I hit save.
[14:24:28] <janrinok> it hasn't changed here yet
[14:23:38] <Bytram> is that better?
[14:23:28] <Bytram> SoylentNews has a long legacy going back to Chips & Dips, the predecessor site to Slashdot and from whose code SoylentNews was forked.
[14:22:28] <Bytram> ahhh, my bad. great catch.
[14:21:59] * Bytram looks again
[14:20:28] <janrinok> corrected*
[14:20:18] <janrinok> I haven't correct it because it might be me being a numpty
[14:17:26] <janrinok> Bytram, I might be mis-reading it, but how can SN have a legacy going back to SN?
[14:15:03] <Bytram> afk; biab
[14:14:52] <Bytram> pshaw! *YOU* are *my* hero!
[14:14:35] <janrinok> rest - you are still my hero
[14:14:14] <Bytram> okay, changed the release date/time and updated prose. have at it! (/me is gonna take a break)
[14:13:39] <janrinok> in that case, I'm 'newrly' ready to 2nd it
[14:12:08] <Bytram> newrly done
[14:11:57] <janrinok> Bytram, do you want me to 2nd that, or are you still mulling it over?
[14:10:37] <janrinok> gosh my grumpy old man (GOM) is definitely coming out to play today
[14:08:37] <Bytram> yep
[14:08:17] <janrinok> people who use such terminology in the real world should receive a firm slap on the back of the head.
[14:07:31] <janrinok> I must have slept through the pre-social media and social media phases, and slipped straight into the post-social media
[14:06:40] <Bytram> maybe only the anti-social media cognoscenti? ;)
[14:06:40] <janrinok> ;)
[14:06:34] <janrinok> ... and grumpy
[14:06:30] <janrinok> I'm getting old ....
[14:06:14] <janrinok> do people actually say 'post-social media web' in the real-world?
[14:05:25] <janrinok> run it - let's see what we get back
[14:05:25] <Bytram> brb
[14:05:24] <Bytram> Okay, I'm liking the footnotes idea more and more...
[14:04:32] <Bytram> mare sea!
[14:04:26] <janrinok> yep, that is much clearer
[14:04:21] <Bytram> I've seen this back-and-forth on more than one occasion.... not frequent, but still recurring.
[14:03:45] <Bytram> BTW, I tried to split off the 'history lesson' from the story's query by starting a new <p>; did that help?
[14:03:44] <janrinok> it increases the size of the editing task (but not by a huge amount) but it then comes out as a straight forward question of the community. But, tbh, I have not seen any complaints so we might be making a rod for our backs, so to speak
[14:02:33] * Bytram wondrs if, maybe, the actual links should be movd out of the text and referenced like footnotes?
[14:01:55] <Bytram> good point...
[14:01:04] <janrinok> that's very true - I wondering whether I am being swayed by the original links to the story topic. The new story (this story) should be (IMHO) completely separated from the earlier one 'What Language etc'
[13:59:34] <Bytram> agreed, but in the haste to post a reply, all too often the subject does not keep up with the conversation. :/
[13:58:59] <janrinok> well, I'll 2nd it if you want but it still doesn't excite me too much. And my views on the subject matter are fairly fixed - most threads wander so much that I think useful subjects are essential...
[13:56:51] * Bytram is too much of a literalist
[13:56:41] <janrinok> looking
[13:56:36] <Bytram> I made some changes... take a look, now.
[13:56:33] <janrinok> well, it was only a poorly thought out suggestion, I would never suggest cutting and pasting it!
[13:55:48] <Bytram> I get the gist of the idea, but your proposed wording doesn't quite do it for me, and I can't put my finger on it.
[13:54:34] <janrinok> it seems to be all from our site, but the links did not make that immediately apparent to me. How about an intro 'A commenter suggested the following in an earlier discussion...' It is so off-topic in that thread I never bothered to read it before
[13:53:07] <Bytram> I canmake it clearer... just a minute
[13:52:20] * Bytram looks again
[13:52:15] <Bytram> hmmm?
[13:51:53] <janrinok> It is a bit confusing which parts are the thoughts of pedantic_peter, and where the other quoted parts are taken from. I assumed from /., which is why I side-stepped it.
[13:51:16] <Bytram> fools jump in where angels fear to tread!
[13:50:50] <janrinok> I must confess that I skipped this one - intentionally :)
[13:50:38] <Bytram> I've seen a little back-and-forth on this very thing in the comments, I'm thinking it's best to meet it square on than let it simmer and then boil?
[13:49:28] <Bytram> I could be swayed to not run it, or to schedule it for a more 'visible' time like 0800 EDT... your thoughts?
