     (...) Wait -- maybe instead of individual objects in the list having the flag on an object-by-object basis, maybe the lists themselves should have a list- global flag. That way, instead of each member having a single channel with some of the items (...) (25 years ago, 3-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

Only you can can see what these are. *A Public channel that also tracks groups or posts, but anyone can check (...) (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
    
         Re: RSS output format (was: Re: Lugnet for beginners) —Todd Lehman
     (...) oh. What on earth do personal channels (or weblogs, for that matter) have to do with guestbooks? Well, they're almost exactly the same thing. The only difference, other than the minutiae of formatting, is who can read entries and who can write (...) (25 years ago, 3-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

     Huh? Sounds waaay too complicated for me. I subscribe to the KISS principle. Guess I'd have to see an actual example to see if it would be useful. My $0.02 (...) (25 years ago, 3-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

          Re: RSS output format (was: Re: Lugnet for beginners) —Todd Lehman
      (...) Ohyah. For people who wanted to keep it *really* simple, they wouldn't even know that channels existed -- they could just read the Spotlight channel and wouldn't even know it's a channel -- it would just show up as a little list on the (...)
