The Index of the Giant's Comments

[Jasdoif]

Rule C passed with 16 votes out of 17. No exceptions taken.

Since I appear to be the only one who did not approve of rule C, perhaps I should explain my objection.

c) The index is a forum tool, meant primarily to provide easy access to direct statements from the author for the purpose of forum discussion. Thus, while the index may be fun to read through on a whim, this is not its primary purpose or focus - it is a research aid more than it is a trivia collection.

It sounds well and good at first, but what does it actually mean? "Primarily" implies exceptions exist, and "It is a research aid more than it is a trivia collection" implies it still is a trivia collection...so what's the purpose of making these distinctions, particularly since no action based on these distinctions is mentioned? B.1 covers the more obvious "non-comic-related" trivia material, and B clearly states that such things will not be included in the index....

...so what is the purpose of C?
