I know what you mean (at least I hope I do), but after getting the boot from reddit (actually just 6 years of karma set to zero to effectively silence me) this place is fantastic by comparison, and I guess I'm new enough to have not been disappointed yet. I suspect that in time you're probably right, and I'll see that lack of mediocre thinking you speak of. The thing I have learned all too late in life is that on the average, people WILL dissapoint, its just that the current population here are such that maybe that disapointment will happen less often. Any place that inspires me to read more than write will get me hooked everytime tho. Yes Eliza the shrink, it was meant to be hooked to an irc bot lol.
