Those who have visited The Archives Forum (first year of Yoda's posts) have no doubt noticed some anomalies:

First, we were unable to bring in the actual date posted, so the dates you see bear no relation to reality. Some have the date they were brought into the Archives (many on several such 'global' dates). And for some reason unknown to me, some feature dates as early as 1970, thirty-four years before I began writing!

Second, there is no post title. The original titles were not brought in and are now lost to history. This is painful for me, because my titles are both fun and functional.

Third, the post import did not retain the original formatting. Worse, the words are often 'stuck' together. It's better than nothing, of course, but it's still an eyesore for me and an inconvenience for our readers.

Finally, after 8,761 posts, I write better, and I relish the opportunity to edit my past work. I would preserve the content, but sharpen its presentation.

Recently I asked for volunteers to help me organize this vast body of work since January 2004. I'm happy and proud to say that five brave souls have embraced the challenge. Soon, our hardy band will get to work. They'll do the organizing, and I'll do the editing. It won't be easy, but it will be worthwhile.

Meanwhile, I briefly revisited my post quoted above by ICT. I didn't change any content, but I did correct the formatting errors and eliminated a bit of wordiness. It's still not perfect.

Only 8,670 more to go.



Enjoy!
