Thanks for the mention Scott. I like how you included the post in the same category as some of the posts it was talking about ;)

Still not sure what “it” is that I’m not supposed to get - the occasional rant certainly makes life more intestesting, and isn’t the whole point of a social news site to spark discussion and interaction? I thought 30+ comments (incidentally with quite a few agreeing with the POV) was a pretty good outcome. It was no LyndonGate, but then what is…?

Nice to see you starting to participate over at Sphinn. I’ll look forward to reading more 16 hour posts :)
