I don't even think its a bad thing. It made a lot of sense. It was a labor intensive solution to a very tough chicken-egg situation that new social networks face.

As far as kleinb, he was very interesting, and despite the fact that I called him out on his (legendary amounts of) bullshit, I'd have no problems enjoying his posts were he here. I tolerated his rudeness towards me untill he attacked one of the other hubskiers (forget his name now). Can't help it. I just can't stand bullies. If he was thick skinned enough to hang around while getting called out berating and attacking other people I'd still be enjoying his other posts to this day :) Ah well, he could dish it out anyway.
