18. Are recommendations gone completely?

Thu Apr 28, 2011, 02:41 PM

Apr 2011

For most purposes, I won't miss them -- but there are always a few threads which present a really interesting news item or editorial and get lots of recommendations but little or no discussion. Those are often the most intellectual and analytical pieces, and I'd hate to miss them because everybody is too awestruck by their brilliance to have much to add.

i do agree with you, but for different reasons rpannier Apr 2011 #24

Maybe distinguish between editing to correct typos & syntax, and editing to change the tone? Wednesdays Apr 2011 #66

Not just potentially embarrassing, but it could also clutter up replies/threads terribly. Wednesdays Apr 2011 #67
