I don't think you can consider it death to reach equilibrium (unless
your talking Universal scale here).  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.
