a) It's not "old standards" who form the majority of the top 50 over the
past month. [*]
b) It only takes 6 e-mails to get on the famous top 50 list of internet
fame. Whoopie.
c) Even if it was, who cares? Exactly what would moving to a different
format change? If people want to be heard they should post. There's no
need to ask for permission, just post. Or should there be created rules
along the lines of "If you've been on the list for more than 18 months you
may only post twice per week"?
[*] A quick skim tells me that only 6 of the people on the top 50 list for
last month have been members of the group for 18 months (nov. 2004). (Jay,
Me, Steve Garfield, Deirdré, Josh Kinberg, Andrew Baron). That's not a lot
if you ask me. If you sort the member list by date joined you'll see all
sorts of really awesome people who are no longer posting (like Sean
Gillian and Lisa Harper).
