[Quoted] Still, this is the only place where it is possible to publish some things. For instance, Jonathan Lewis published his thinking about scoring of the speakers on the conferences. I tried leaving a comment on his blog, saying that scoring of the speakers should also include the stoning option, since many of those "expert sessions" at the conferences are just a huge waste of time and the angry attendees should really have an option to stone the speaker, regardless of whether he uttered the word "Jehova" or not. The comment has promptly vanished from the Scratchpad, I wonder why.
