Lance Hill sent me a link to another article by Adam Nossiter in the New York Times. Nossiter is off drinking at the trough of Uptown’s conventional wisdom in his article Whites Take a Majority on New Orleans’s Council.

There is a post at Think New Orleans called Is Adam Nossiter a Tool? That question stands. I don’t want to write a new article about the matter, but rather have people continue to discuss the issue under the existing article. What I really want is a website that will allow me to feature this article once again, or rather bring this subject up in the context of the conversations that took place before. It is very important to preserve both the existing discussion and the timeline of events.

Which is something that is common to most of my civic writing. I do want to encourage participation in the conversation, so I want to resurrect the existing conversation, with the exisiting participants. Most people subscribe to email notifications of comments of a particular post. To notify them that Adam Nossiter is banging on about race and quoting Greg Rigamer, I need to continue the discussion under the previous post.

Although, I’m pleased that WordPress is now performing acceptably, both blogs and Wikis fail to make my efforts in New Orleans easier.
