Mostly, yes. However, I didn't intend to focus on the reward/punish aspect. Sorry for the distraction. My primary point is about identification. What anyone does with the data gained by paying attention is their business. Indeed, what anyone regards as good and bad behavior is their business. I'm certain that many of my friends think SiteGround and SoftLayer made Good decisions. I disagree; regardless, it's important to draw attention to their decisions so that those attending can judge for themselves. Those who fail to pay attention fail in their duty to themselves and their network. To be clear, I'm positing that the _cause_ of the systemic problem is lack of attention. So, calling out good and bad behavior and naming good and bad actors is not just a good start and it's not treating the symptom rather than the cause. Calling it out is treating the cause. -- glen ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org
