No.
Almost everybody knows everybody. If a new person appears, we can always look
that person up in the introduction. As far as the old f**ts are concerned, does
anybody really want to know? Or care?
And what difference does it make whether it is bonobashi or Indrajit Gupta
making a point? Are you looking at the logic and the point itself, or the
antecedents of the point maker?
Much ado about nothing.
