You know I was cleaning this weekend and apparently I missed the start of "Put the smack-down on PG" week. Any way I can catch up by Friday? Suggestions PG? I have a tentative work entitled "Why PG is wrong about the color of the HN menubar," but I'm not sure it has the same pizzaz as this other stuff we're seeing.

The point of submitting this wasn't to pick on pg -- it's a thoughtful piece, and adds a new voice to the discussion. Interesting conversations have two sides.

  Thats true. It was not a comment about this article, it was a joke about many articles appearing in a short time frame all disagreeing with PG in some way or another. All the responses seem to have come out at once. Conversations are good, although I have a running disagreement on a different thread over the logic of some comments, I have to say they are enjoyable to read.

Actually this one is a delight by comparison. This guy at least means well. The last one was like Fox News.

You know, I missed the other articles because I was out of town (I assume), but I just wanted to let you know that'd I'd like to nominate this comment for Comment-Of-The-Year award. Here everyone else is setting up for a flame war and you just come along and remind everyone that they are being four-year-olds.
