I second that, speaking as my TAGish self. Just make sure you don't
lose them in a crash or whatever. Backup is the mother of sanity :)

What would be really great is if it could be turned into an .inc file
along the lines of IsoShapes.inc.

You guys me want to track all posts that have isosurface declarations
in them? :)

Yes. Please. I need input, data, ideas.

That can be arranged, but I'm not knowledgable in the ways of inc (concats and
the like). I can make an .inc file that has macros, though.

And compile them into a sub-list, sure!

I just read your post to the image section again. I'm sorry, I didn't
realize it was a list for public distribution.
    I actually started making my list sometime last week, while at work. It
started when I found out how to make an isosurface cone, and thought, "I should
make a list of these things for reference."

    I think the first thing we should do is ask someone who -has- downloaded
every post (rather than just planned to, like me) to do a search for the
words isosurface and function and zip up all those posts, then we can split
them up and extract them or something.

    Peter? Ken?
