So much of what is written on h2g2 about h2g2 is either an self indulgent pat on the back or a extended moan, this intellegent, analytical discussion is refreshing to read.
Ben, thanks for taking the time.

Thanks, Hon. It ends rather abruptly though, and doesn't really come to any conclusion. 
It shows that I simply got Shazz to cut up an entry into four parts rather than taking the time to write four entries.

It is the first of a series of four, and you'll get more readers this way. You do have a Real Life, which can awkwardly interfer with h2g2.

Yep. Read it with interest. You would probably get more comments here, but the original thread is still moving...

And of course, one of h2g2's specific benefits is being demonstrated by the fact that we're writing a sort of conclusion/trailing off right now in these discusion treads.

Thank you, all of you!
Of course the real thinking work was done by the folks in the threads, and it is good to see that it is still going on.
