As much as I love Conversant, one of the things that was somewhat limiting for awhile was the inability to create an interface to the discussion group that resembled the flat bulletin board systems like the Ultimate Bulletin Board, etc., that I prefer (on the other hand, I don’t know of any other content management system that lets you build your discussion system from the ground up however you like it — and modify it instantly — that Conversant does).
Anyway, Macrobyte followed through on my and others’ feature requests, and it is now possible to emulate just about any bulletin board system you could imagine.
And, today, somebody threatened to sue me over it. After I stopped laughing over the e-mail I re-read it and started laughing again.
I converted all of my sites from a chronological ordering of posts to a reverse chronological ordering posts. So this yahoo, out of the blue, writes to tell me that I have inappropriately changed the “context” of something he posted to my site back in July 2001 and that I have two days to remove it or face his solicitor!
Ah, nothing like crank e-mail on a Sunday morning.
