Well, this is part of the plan ;-) The idea is to make the portals 
only carry short term information that needs to move one day to
another place or be removed completely. In the long term we don't need
the comments and drafts. We need them only as a starting point to
provide quality information ! This quality information is going to
be kept in your member folder.

You see, this is not the same ! On ZDP we have somebody selecting
the good stuff and throwing away the rest once it has been integrated
in a document that now contains the accumulated knowledge of
a whole community ! www.experts-exchange is just like a mailing list
with search capability that happens to allow people to organize
their mails in subjects and topics and subtopics.

This is a problem, because nothing is thrown away. People don't come
to the ZDP site to chat, but to get pointers to the greatest 
available information.
