Editor Log: August 2001 (thing)

I am TallRoo (hi tallroo) and I am an Editor. I won't list kills requested by the user (e.g. nuke requests) here. Thanks to Mr Klaproth, everyone gets a message with a reason for the kill. Sometimes I might show that reason here as well.

Thu 2nd August

General tidying up. You will remember from previous logs that I am removing URL nodes. Why? well, here's why you shouldn't use a URL as a node title so please stop noding websites.

• Why my girlfriend doesn't exist. (idea) by Mr. Clean (mercifully) - for various reasons, including that it ran along the lines of "If I do not observe something, therefore, it doesn't exist. Hence, Schrödinger's Cat."
• Why my girlfriend doesn't exist. (idea) by Geez (mercifully)
• Nothing (thing) by Whywait? (mercifully) - empty
• Nothing (thing) by nyet (mercifully) - "Nothing seems to be a place where people write test nodes."
• anti-social.com (place) by Remy (mercifully)
• anti-social.com (thing) by mat catastrophe (mercifully)kuro5hin.org (place) by freeze (mercifully)
• Kompressor Does Not Dance (thing) by nullChris (mercifully) - it was a correction of an earlier writeup. This is what /msg and (eventually) Broken Nodes are for
• Speaking to you makes me wish I had been aborted. (idea) by nullChris (mercifully) - at -17 and in freefall. Nice Klaproth message regarding Everything University sent

This week I am working in San Francisco. Miss me.

Tue 21 Aug

• * porshe (thing) by evarlast & Kaos - the real spelling is 'Porsche'

Tue 28 Aug

• * SP/DIF (thing) by dexmon - we already have S/PDIF the more correct spelling. Actually, we also have S-PDIF, which is used interchangably, but I asked Boldra to move to S/PDIF.

* = nodeshell destruction request too.
