Well hello there fellow Massassi Temple member!It's already kind of weird to regularly get comments from or interact with geek 'celebrities' both big and small, (saurik, Alan Kay, etc.).

In general, I think many of the top quotes succinctly capture the realities of membership in internet communities (the double-edged nature of having moderators, the daily trials of our fellow users, the delight of linguistic playfulness).There were other quote sites out there. I always think about the "moral combat" top quote where someone is kicked with the input sequence for a fatality as a great example of internet wit.
