    Yes this sounds like a great idea: a repository of points of view on subtle
    things like this, were individual entries are written, and peer-reviewed,
    more carefully than when writing a "casual" contribution to the list. For
    example we could have some "standard" points of view on individual identity
    and its `[non] preservation after upload. For such a repository I would wish
    to write a much more articulated account of the half-baked thoughts in my
    last message (this would take days if not weeks). Of course, I may find that
    a good account of my own point of view already exists in the repository.
    Good luck if someone wishes to get the repository started, I look forward to
    contributing. I wonder how many entries we would get on the eternal
    left/right issue.
