The recent hubbub (and yes, I am aware I use that word too much and need a synonym… how about brouhahahahahaha?). As I was saying, the recent brouhahahaha over anonymous comments has centred around the supposed damage that comes with anonymous commenting. This sentiment is summed up nicely in the following quote from a recent Washington Post Editorial:
Imagine going to a meeting about school overcrowding in your community. Everybody at the meeting is wearing nametags. You approach a cluster of people where one man is loudly complaining about waste in school spending. “Get rid of the bureaucrats, and then you’ll have money to expand the school,” he says, shaking his finger at the surrounding faces.

RSS has ruined my life. It really has. Everyday, right in my inbox, I get a stream of stuff begging to be read (I use Opera’s excellent built in RSS reader and mail client, which integrates email and RSS).
What originally started as a good way to keep up to date without having to go look nowhere has turned into 300+ posts a day clogging my inbox. Going through all the feeds now takes up so much of my time that it is almost worse than spam. If, heaven forbid, I take a day (or week) off, clearing the backlog becomes virtual torture, as I am forced to sift through yet another post about Yahoo’s new NOYDIR robots directive metatag.
