RE: [TCML] how to "cite" a TCML posting

[Jim Lux <jimlux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

(I wouldn't think it OT.. it's TCML related...)

That's what I was doing, but it was the "what if the archive moves" that was the tricky part I was trying to figure out a good way to do it (without getting too clever, like putting it in an alt tag reference or something like that.. I know, I'll add 100k of java to every page, and use that to fire off a flash animation which spins the original post in front of page<grin>)

I suppose a bibliographic style reference as Dan suggested would work, too, but that seemed a tad "formal" and too much like writing papers at work.
