there goes the neighborhood

I am going to sound like an elitist for saying this. As tribe.net becomes larger, it becomes dumber and less interesting.

Remember around Christmas 2003, when a huge influx of new people came in? Some of them were very cool and interesting, like Annetastic. But a lot of them were, shall we say, eh. I remember Liz bemoaning this at the time.

Well, it's getting worse. And what is there to do about it? Is there somewhere else to go? Doesn't look like it. And I wouldn't want to leave behind all of the cool people I have met here, anyway.

So I guess it's just grin and bear it.

    Or maybe you've just achieved the saturation level for cool and interesting people?

      Good theory, Robyn.

      Actually, the way I think it works for me is that as I meet someone cool and interesting, someone lower on the totem pole falls off my personal radar.

      How's that for a mixed metaphor?

      BTW, I am able to track way more names and faces than I ever thought I would. Too bad my students are so numerous and I only see them for three to six months.
