Because you just log in to one site to get to Emacs. You don't have to be a nomad on several sites and move back and forth. You don't have to care about any of that. You just go to the specific site for the specific purpose. Collecting material that is associated on one place, logically in categories and so forth, makes the material more clear, more accessible, etc. You yourself said: not another site to monitor! (pseudo-quote) It is not another site to monitor - it is *the* site to monitor. By the way, I remember who rewarded you a bounty on "Linux & Unix" years ago. If you have stayed on SX since then I take it you are fond of the SX sites. You are fond of Emacs, of course. So: how can it be you are not found of an Emacs SX site? This doesn't make any sense to me. I'm the one not liking the SX sites and I'm the only one (?) in favor! > Nothing prevents you from creating Emacs-specific > tags today. Make them as elaborate as you like. > Nothing is more elaborate than elaborate-as-you-like. In the world of principles, yes. In reality, I can't see anything else than that an Emacs-specific site will bring about more material and more advanced material that will be easier to browse and access. > Blah.

Not "mentally challenged" - I wrote "morons" - if you use moronic software, you become a moronic computer user. Give me a bunch of Counterstrike- and World of Warcraft-playing kids (morons) and I'll take them to the woods and turn them into techno warriors, all using Emacs, Vim, Linux, Solaris, like yedis... -- underground experts united
