Responding to this thread only because it seems like the annual "roll-call" thread where we all band together to fight the evils of our world/mailing list/internet. I would like to share with you all a story that was passed down to me by my great grandfather.
*pulls out his lute and begins to strum* When I was not more than twelve years of age I happened upon an ancient scroll On this tattered parchment I did find An enchanting parable It told of the lives of the brave and the mighty Their silver tongues, their dashing Their jewel-encrusted goblets flecked with the finest gold But the text ended most peculiarly, just as for centuries it had been foretold At the bottom lay a lonely line written, using quill and ink, in bold... "To the finder of this relic, to the scanner of this scroll, we implore you, dearest reader: Please Don't Feed The Trolls." fin. Now, go tell your children that story and make it stick. Steven Pinker claims in his most recent book that we're living in the most civilized era in human history. I want to BCC him on this thread and get reaction shot. Perhaps a working theory might be that while more people are literate, they think commensurately less about what they write and publish. Oh, and Alex, could we get those videos faster? I am *really* close to proving P=NP and solving the banking and energy crises, but wouldn't you know it: My research is largely based off of Clojure/west videos. Imagine the whole world singing in harmony to the announcement of Javelin and Pedestal. The fate of the world rests in your hands! Seriously though, thanks Alex for everything you do and have done for the Clojure community. Lambda Jam looks like it's going to be a great time. Thanks for the keeping the midwest Curry.
