On that thought, I finished reading Going Postal by Terry Pratchett, a wonderful and funny read on a con man being forced to revive a dead postal service, who must compete with a fantasy semaphore service. It was quite entertaining. I am looking forward to the sequel Making Money, about a con artist reviving a mint.

Is this going to become a "find your oldest post in PPP archive" thread? (I am not objecting, just asking.)

On topic, Aran, could you connect PPP with endeavor database to get the post context on the day they were posted. (You are getting current member names, but it would be even better to get the member names, locations, and custom titles from the closest available snapshot in endeavor, or the information you got when parsing through original archives, whichever is more current.) This would present the posts as closely as possible to the way they appeared when posted.

And talking about endeavor database, could you include a feature for looking up all archived PDNs for a certain member number. That would be very helpful for looking up random members who seem to have been active before, but whom I can't recognize based on profile alone.

Looks like the company that made it is based in Singapore. Maybe everyone (and I mean everyone) involved in its design was a non-native English speaker? At least, I hope that's the case.

Neither is math and yet math is still a pretty solid method for determining that 2 + 2 does in fact = '4'.

Ah, now this brings up a question for which I never got a straight answer out of you last time we talked. Are you a Platonist or not? Because your sentence as it stands is contradictory: either mathematical objects are purely human constructs and the only reason that 2 + 2 = 4 is that we define "2", "4", "+" and "=" so that it must do so (in which case saying "2 + 2 does in fact = 4" is vacuous, because you could just as easily define it to equal 5), or mathematical objects do exist independently of human agency.
