Motet

The strengths of Motet are
• The ability to show any number of posts in a particular topic
• The compartmentalization of the conference/topic structure, allowing people to easily and automatically ignore that which does not interest them

The Weaknesses include
• The inability to edit posts for spelling and factual errors
• The moderation, which is designed to support a hostly hierarchy and does not allow any equivalent of voting.

Various motets include both Mozart's and William Byrd's Ave Verum Corpus, and many were written by others such as Samuel Wesley, Palestrina and Lully.

Mo*tet" (?), n. [F., a dim. of mot word; cf. It. mottetto, dim. of motto word, device. See Mot, Motto.] Mus.
