correected post

Just a note from someone else who manages a permathread.... each of us do the edits a little differently, but one thing permathreads seem to have in common is that later, when the edits are done, it can look like the editor was/is the only contributor, posting and posting when no one seems to have posted back. I found it helpful, in mine, to use the posts others made as a place to fill in some of what I later edited around--

Example: Kat posted in mine and later (way later), I used her post because it came in sequence, chronologically, where I wanted a certain item to appear between to other items I was organizing topically. So I removed the "content" of her post (having incorporated her material into another post elsewhere in the thread), and swapped in my own material (I asked first). Otherwise, my only option would have been to delete the whole post, with no way to insert a new one in the middle of that chrono order.


It takes awhile, as a permathread "editor," to see how to most-usefully use the very simple tech tools that let permathreads work. I'm glad the tools are so simple-- it's a weird enough process messing into HTML as it is!-- and the simple tools really do suffice to get the job done, quite marvelously.


Anyway, Rowan, feel free to use any of my posts as another open-entry spot for your material, without asking me first.
