To the extent that it spreads the participant contributed
informational content among several separate repositories, it
undermines locating the information sought in searches. If there is
only one central venue for participation, all users have access to all
information, and a single deja.com database query will return ALL
matching data. If there are many separate repositories, much
information will not be found even if several databases are
individually queried. Fractictionalizing the information in the name
of eliminating the chaff has a price.
