I hate technical discussions about computers. They suck, because they're either dick-wagging contests or quickly fall far from the humans supposedly benefiting from them. It's time for people to amplify their minds, and not suffer the diktat of flat-ass belly-rounded specialists.

An important point to keep in mind is that this system (supposedly) can function as a mailing list, except you can opt-in (or out) or what you actually want to receive in your inbox.
