Well, Samantha wrote something quite similar in
http://www.extropy.org/exi-lists/extropians/0211/17161.html
on November 13, which you must have missed.
I have several questions for you.
1. Why don't you instead rehash things that have not
already been dealt with in much greater depth?
2. Or even hash things of greater importance?
3. Or even ignore discussions in which you don't want to
participate?
Indeed, Samantha wrote, two links later,

which at least shows some effort to confront what a number see as
a problem of what to talk about. As for me, like I said,
