When thinking about how to include/declude/categorize/process
all these incoming information items, please recall that a big reason
i need to do this is so i can identify some specific community
information that i wish to contribute to in collaboration with others.
The contribution could be a new topic, an interpretation of an existing
topic, or a topic definition. This information is accessible in some
structure that relates connections between items and allows
the information to interact with me by informing me of activity
concerning the specific community information to which i contribute.
The model for maintenance of this information is a trusted agent
who can always remove the redundancies and make the correct
connections to original and evolved information, plus somone or
group to monitor the agent. (02)

Which means that the community decides what to exclude from the
message as it evolves to a finer and finer definition. for example,
this series of messages about the .sig (mostly unrelated to the title)
might evolve into a series of rules that disallow deletion of the sig in
original input, but removes it (but not backlinks history is original input)
as the rule is refined by several cycles of work and the rule finally
appears in some guidelines for processing mail list inputs into the DKR. (04)
So, if someone would take the responsibility for making sure that
redundant backlinks are clipped and it gets the plinks right before
it goes into a working info structure, then that's what is needed. (05)
