Which I totally I agree with, but am not going to advocate enforcing. 
Proper manners also includes not enforcing those same manners upon 
others. That, again, is the same -- conceptually -- as what is being 
railed against in the first place. My idea of the "right way" has 
nothing to do with anyone else's, and I'm in no position -- nor want to 
be -- to enforce that "right way" on anyone. I don't get it. This sort 
of has an exclusionary feel to it, IMHO, and I'm not sure what's driving 
that. If people want to be open, cool, I'm down with that. If not, 
alright, I'll check it out, and if I don't like what they're about, or 
how they're doing things, I won't check it out anymore, and I'll blog 
about that. When did that stop being an option? Why aren't we railing 
about blogs that post about NYT or CNN articles?

We ALL have equal time. At least, I know I do, I have a blog, and access 
to technorati. Where's the issue, and why are we trying to exclude 
people from not playing by some set of arbitrary rules?

Also, since I want to keep the threadcount down here -- the fact that it 
wasn't overtly labelled as accepting comments, yeah, that sucks. Don't 
watch 'em again. Take your notes, blog about what you saw, and that's 
that. I don't think we should be building filters into our 
infrastructure to keep people out, especially right now. I don't think 
programmatically enforcing some kind of clique is the best way to move 
things forward, but hey.. I could be totally wrong here.
