[Hidden-tech] biznik

[Edbride-PR]

Jan, if this tecchie thing doesn't work out, you could go into writing,
that's a well-articulated position that just happens to echo my own (it
would be well articulated, even if it didn't, of course).

The Dobee thing on HT is as offputting to me as Biznik's "doesn't suck" is
to Jan; many are the HT post that doesn't get opened when I see that
opening. My posts of several weeks back, suggesting that the Dobee thing be
moved to epilogue instead of introduction, were actually rejected. I'm happy
that we're at least honoring honest discussion now.
