written in stone?

First, let me say I'm having a great time learning new things in the course.
I wonder if it couldn't be made more interactive by including the
possibility of adding comments/discussion to the course material www pages.
If each page had a form for entering comments or questions, we could all
contribute EASILY to the course. Or maybe it wouldn't be so easy--I'm not
the person to ask about the technical details. The current arrangement
allows discussion via email lists, but the email audience is potentially
much smaller, and referring to specific URLs is cumbersome. Taking up
specific points with the author of the www page is not always possible, as
not all authors include an email address. So let me conclude by asking/
encouraging the authors of course material to facilitate interactive use
of their contributions, rather than mounting it in a form 'written in stone'.
