Truth is, i’m getting pretty bored by much of SS… so much noise. I get i too am part of that noise. I think taking the Justin Smith Ruiu high road is the way.

Notes is uncontrolled masturbation.

Save it for the once a month real deal.

I’ll probably be jacking off again tomorrow, so to speak.

You'd really look forward to jerking off if you only did it on the last Tuesday of the month.

There are great SS writers but there's a difference between those informing and those seemingly writing the same opinion in different ways.

Notes is getting to be like Twitter. The same people having conversations with themselves. It’s useful to highlight someone’s work but even at that the same people get pushed to the top all the time. The smaller people get shoved aside and quite often they’ve got the most interesting stuff to say.

I've been bitching about that for a while, and was disappointed when everyone said they would keep Notes rather than replace it. Additionally, to compete with Notes, you have to put post your article on Notes, which is daft repetition. Chat doesn't seem to have worked because, as you say, others are too busy making one-way Notes to their ego.

A good reminder. Thanks, Mike. I hope you find a situation that works for you.

I'm working towards that situation where I've a Russian lady on one side, and a Ukrainian on the other, and they think the other is beautiful.
