Dear Salon,
You didn't do David Brin any favors by letting stand his weird punctuation and portentous sentence fragments. I gave up after the first page, and I'll read just about any goofy prognostication about the Internet. Maybe I am a crank (and I admit to being an English professor and a professional editor), but my point is that Salon usually does a lot better than this.
So, in that spirit, I hope you will keep up the good work.
Cheers,
David Robinson
Every couple weeks an article appears in Salon that seems it simply MUST have been created by a group of Salon staffers sitting around a table. These pieces are evidently parodies, although it's not clear of what. From the always-fresh "AA-style" headline to the final self-indulgent platitude, including the totalitarian PC professors who call for socialist revolution and the winking and grimacing about wrinkles and getting old from someone who was in school in 2001, this article feels invented to allure a nonexistent "persona" and fill in the tags between advertising for a demographic niche.
