I agree totally except for the last statement. See Malkin’s sites, LGF and others that have closed registrations. LGF is one of the worst – Charles bans people for disagreeing with him or his. He has become what he railed against. Malkin, the same. The PJM sites allow open comments.

From Winds of Change, Nortius Maximus proposed 4 types of online entities. It is interesting reading. I and most here fall under ‘upstanding cognomens’.

The world is changing. Like the Instapundit says – Faster, please.
