"contrary to public policy" ... man, that's getting a little stiff! Of course that could apply to most of the threads here, which is, I guess, the point the poster is making.

Simply because we know the comparison will be made...

If anyone wants to understand how the Greenspun software, developed at MIT (and hosted on MIT computers), works, there is a link at the bottom of the top level Forum page...

If you're interested in how this software evolved and/or want to learn how to build similar systems yourself, then you should read Philip and Alex's Guide to Web Publishing.

You can always try e-mailing Phil Greenspun with questions, but his standard professor's answer is usually the same... read the book.
