Everything tends towards equilibrium. I don't think any system of news can sustain an infinite period of growth. I'm not saying that B news is the best way. When it came out, maybe it was; maybe it is; maybe it hasn't yet been. We won't know until someone writes something else, will we? Until then, I suggest we either put our efforts to helping that person or put them into keeping the net from slipping from equilibrium into decline. Adam
