I could have been snarkier, but I realize that most of my snarkiness doesn't so much have to do with the site or community, but the debacle we might call "Dan and Ned's divorce."
HAD this place continued along the path of some of Dan's original vision from the earliest versions of teh White Paper, this might have been a very different story.
But now we're here, and I still enjoy the aspects of this that I choose to participate in, and I choose to participate in the various "Minnow Building" initiatives and the bits about "building a larger middle class."
Will those make a difference? Who knows... but at least it's a direction that makes a bit of sense...
