To be blunt, I think there are a lot of people hanging out on the list
who really are not extropians. Which is fine, since everyone has to be
a newbie at some point and decide for themselves whether or not they
really are or not. But some people seem to be unable to realize the fact
that they are not really extropian at all. They rationalize to themselves
that they are, but in fact the choices they continually make in their
lives lead more down the path towards entropy. So they end up hanging
around here, really not adding much besides noise.
