I agree. If I am just posting info that will die in 5 minutes, I am wasting my time. If I wanted that I would tweet to all the short attention span 140 char mindless fools. Not every comment needs to be archival, but we shouldn't have to constantly repeat ourselves either. I commend hefty lefty for using the Search and discussing an obviously interesting topic. No need to keep saying "shut up, we already decided what you can use in your car".
