how about a system where people have to 'git clone' your posts, check the diff for previous posts, and make pull requests to reply?
Just throwing ideas :^)
I must admit I've not used git in years, but I do believe I recall what you're talking about.
Hard to say. I mean, in what *I* consider an ideal world, the whole interactive Pub experience in a terminal would be essentially orgiastic to those who love such. But there's always the risk that becomes exclusive of great people/minds that simply haven't had reason to become a terminal psychopath.
_As it were_.... :-)
