    That means you are a big poster - plenty of posts about the "central"
    issues many others also participate in. If you look in the archives
    (http://akira.nada.kth.se/~asa/Extropians/Archive/) you will see that
    this is true of you most of the time.

    We are probably recharging in order to really hate each other in the
    upcoming flames about whether Columbia could have been saved from
    Saddam's agricultural leftist plot if the astronauts had been armed. :-)

    I have a lot of ideas of extensions of the application (some of them due
    to good ideas Robert mailed me). One thing I really would like to do is
    some Bayesian text analysis to detect the politeness level.
