The Question and Answer Board

[Was (Bob)]

So much for the "mass exodus" that was predicting a few weeks ago.

That's something I also am not remotely proud of. Many people came here because of me and I was gloating a bit (definitely privately and maybe when talking to others) about what this would become. I feel badly that a number of credible people got caught in what was, to be as kind as possible, a lapse in judgment on my part. But I really do tend to trust everyone until they give me a reason not to. Once they've given me that reason, I'm unlikely to ever trust them again.

I'd like to see something from Bob in the WSJ

Forthcoming.

on the state of online chat sites. I doubt there are many people that understand this little niche better than him.

That could be an interesting thing for me to do. Maybe a weekly column that'll give me a bit of pocket money. I'll check into that tomorrow.
