   I mean it quite literally when I say that I think your viewpoint is inhuman. You're suggesting that phenomena have no intrinsic right and wrong? From the perspective of the universe-at-large you are quite correct. But not from the huma

    Very interesting site, but I got bored of manually scrolling around dropbox. Why not stick in a button that autoscrolls to the next anchor?
