Ironically, Salon learned nothing from their own feature and its own discussion forum "TableTalk" was only narrowly saved by third parties (especially the Internet Archive) when they dumped it some years later.
Unfortunately, too late to save the quite brilliant International Issues section, which had been arrogantly deleted without notice years before presumably because it was deemed "foreign" as well as being a cost-sink.
It housed some of the most brilliant discussions I've ever read online, now mostly lost forever afaik.
Strangely, Salon's own incompetence and lack of concern for guardianship is completely missing from the article.
