There have actually been ups and downs. I think the last several months
are a good example. There have been many good Extropian discussions --
mostly I've just lurked in them -- but because of the September 11th
attacks there have been too many discussions of the terrorism on
terrorism -- er, war on terrorism that have had less to do with
Extropianism and more to be about personal political affiliations -- too
many of which I've been an active participant in.
Cheers!

"There is no answer. We do here what we will
And there is no answer. This our liberty
No one has known before, nor could have borne,
For it is rooted in this deepening silence
That is our work and has become our kingdom.
If there were an answer, how could we be free?"
