Well, it's like this. Matt has a life and no time or need to focus on Elan anymore than he ever did. So when Mike asked to moderate it I asked Matt he said 'shur' cause he's spent a lot of time in the great NW and so it went.
Being a moderated forum w/ no real expectation of privacy, anonymity or freedom, it became a boring conversation. Being that it was a boring conversation, all the interesting people bounced off and carried on the interesting conversations in other venues. That's how it goes, that is what is meant by "The internet views censorship as damage and routes around it". It's pretty intuitive if you stop to think about it for just a minute. Same could be said of 6th graders. That's how the high art of note folding and passing evolved, isn't it?
