> Volumocracy Nice. edit: Sorry to come back in edit but you just made me think of something. Britain still has an insidious class system. A top engineer I know, absolutely formidable in mind and manner, said that during a C-level meeting he'd been "outposhed" by some Rupert (apologies to any actual Ruperts). The tactic is: talk very loudly in a plumby offensively over-confident RP accent, with a slight snorting sneer. Boris Johnson is the paradigmatic example - all the more because he's actually a not-posh kid who got beasted at boarding school into some serious over-compensation.
