If you are having a problem keeping up with the firehose that is the altnetconf list, or would really just like a distilled look at the more salient points of any day, check out Alt.Net Pursefight!

I seem to have drawn their ire which, I suppose, gives me some nerd-fame. In fact, I make an appearance in 4 of the first 6 posts. Score!  Link to my blog when you talk about me guys, I want to capitalize on this!

The point being made is good though, anyone who just came in to altnetconf the mailing list in the last couple of weeks would probably think that all that happens there is bitching about this or that, and something about book deals.  Also, it's pretty funny.  I laughed and linked it to all my coworkers.  Contrary to the position conveyed by the screenshot there, I can in fact take a joke.

ps I gladly acknowledge that I have been known to be an ass.  I'm not sure when exactly that has happened on the alt.net list such that it would undermine my credibility, but, i'm sure it probably has.  Whatever.  I called today for a redirection, and I intend to hold myself to the same expectations I set.

Anyway...Subscribed!  Good stuff.  The commentary is both funny and pretty much spot-on.

for what it's worth, when you recently follow someone, and only follow people that feed you alt.net material and your twitter screenshots exactly match undoctored views of your recent updates list on twitter, it's not hard to spoil the fun of anonymity.  You didn't hear that from me though, genius. ;]
