Oh... a "permanent record"... I get to record my transient thoughts of the day, the questions I ponder, and maybe even get some feedback from others. This seems to be a cool idea, and might even generate some traffic, more than my home pages elsewhere, which I never seem to get around to updating.
I just finished reading "Hackers" by Steven Levy, and now I'm depressed... it seems that the true hackers are all gone, and there's noplace to find them anymore... maybe Slashdot is it, and I just don't recognize it... hard to be sure.
Well, there it is... a comment, to be preserved forever in the machine.

PS... you can edit them after the fact, a nice feature.
