Too much talking about the future, and not enough working on making it
come
about. Those who subscribe to the list and are working hard at what they
believe in don't have time to post, let alone read everything. [Which
probably means I'm not working hard enough at my projects, on the other
hand
I do selectively killfile for efficiency].
So list Darwinism leaves behind the successfully evolved posters; those
who
don't care enough about the original list topic to actually spend a
majority
of their time working on it. Plus a few other adaptions, such as
killfilers,
dedicated niche meme propagators, and digest skimmers. (And masochists
too,
I guess).
