Actually, I can understand Kristens complaint. I got the text from a mailing
list, and I can safely assume that Dawkins comments are spreading through a
few other lists and/or Newsgroups.
Her complaint is of the "been there/done that" variety I think.
And I dont have a problem with that.
I think it is indicative of the malaise that afflicts Brin-L. Several of our
favorite posters are gone, and to fill the void several of us share things
we have seen or are interested in. Traffic is up and down depending on what
is going on otherwise.
Pretty healthy behavior if you ask me, but then I tend to be optimistic
about these things.
