[David Goodman]

perhaps it will soon be just as likely and authoritative that people
will write this material directly here. To think we are always going
to remain a secondary or tertiary medium is perhaps looking a little
narrowly. I know we're trying to resist this, but things will proceed
in any case. Or, if we resist strongly enough, they will proceed in
such a way that we may soon be forgotten except for the
specialists--like usenet, perhaps.
