No, you didn't. The point you made is geek vs sheeple, early adopters vs clueless newbies. Most of us on silk are early adopters - some even have a /. uid less than mine. :-) This article postulates that social circumstances push you into SNSs occupied by people of your class. It's interesting because 'merkins do not like talking about class. Speaking of which, I found this in Wikipedia the other day: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_British_society#Victorian_era "It is about this time that the class system, always seen as a hallmark of Britain, began to flourish. Probably inspired by the even more complex caste system of newly colonised India, the British class system created an intricate hierarchy of people which contrasted the new and old rich, the skilled and unskilled, the rural and urban and many more." Huh? We exported class to the Brits?
