Lost in a sea of consciousness

The ALT.NET mailing list is pretty overwhelming. A week or so ago David Laribee proposed splitting it into various groups but that thread seems to have gone by the wayside. The list is the proverbial firehose of babble around ALT.NET (and everything else you can think of). Even longer ago was the notion of summing up the threads and pulling out the choice information into a digestable form. Of course this would mean work and well, it's much better to yap about it then do it.

Whilst doing my weekly ego surf, I came across a fairly new site, Alt.Net Pursefight! Of course it's anonymous, but it's a brilliant no-nonsense wrap-up on the goings on in the list. No thread is left unturned and no person is left without exposure. So hey, if you're looking for an unbiased opinion of what's going on check it out. It's like the Mini-Microsoft of the ALT.NET world.

Brilliant!

  • Whichever genius is writing that ... just brilliant !!!!

    In fact - I'm considering unsubscribing from the list, and just reading this blog!

  • Anyone else find it hilariously ironic that the very thread on the list calling attention to AltNetPursefight is itself on the thin edge of becoming a pursefight?

    Has a sort of symmetrical elegance to it...

  • Good god ... this list is definately like drinking from a firehose. Seriously, its VERY HARD to keep up. I maybe read 30-40% of the posts, and I'm an avid reader. Each thread has nearly 60 replies. INTENSE I SAY, INTENSE. :)
