    Richard:

    Just because Keith may be square in the middle of the postings on this list DOES NOT make him the best spokesperson for memetics. There is more to life and to memetics than this list.

    The bulk of the postings on this list have little to do with memetics and much more to do with the misplaced egos of several of the posters who seem to think that they are the "oracles" of memes.
