It is a little bit harder to use but what is going to happen when we have
1500 email messages on this topic?  Who is going to organize all the
thoughts so that we could ever hope to go back over it all and apply the
information over the long term.

In response, I have to remark that only a human could organize the
*content* of 1500 messages anyway, and WIT doesn't improve on
properly labelled email in that regard.
