Did I really say that? It should have been C&F et al. are better than Facebook for [whatever], but Facebook is better than C&F etc. for [whatever]. Otherwise the 'but' is kind of nonsensical even if the meaning's still clear...Peter Duggan wrote:C&F is better than Facebook for what it does best (which is not IMHO ephemeral, casual chat) but C&F et al. are better than Facebook for what they do best (which is content of greater 'permanent' value).

Oh, come now. Giving up so soon? I was hoping for a string of images of ephemerality, not a competition. But hopes, ephemeral like all else, are soon dashed.benhall.1 wrote:Oh, that's beautiful! Very nice indeed.

You seize the flower, its bloom is shed;
Or like the snow falls in the river,
A moment white—then melts for ever;
Or like the borealis race,
That flit ere you can point their place;
Or like the rainbow’s lovely form
Evanishing amid the storm.—
