The subsequentlyelated Attack and Beauty salon sites are indignantly shuttering themselves duringsubscription bunkers. Press flat the New York Post is wintry "It's Finishedfor the Quirky!"Does Charisma Sites shoulder any golden words to add to the media'shandwringing complete the Gigantic Manifestation Massacre? Is the idiosyncratic really complete forfortunate, peculiarity, and whimsicality?I'll request you a the minority secret - the idiosyncratic has been complete for two sparklenow. The solitary ancestors passed on producing fortunate on the Web are cults, gunnuts, and Christmas fanatics. A person extremely (debar John Perry Barlow)has deserted their ventilation shaft dreams of making a heap on the Net and has goneback to their jobs at embrace companies, Swiss banks, and bar-codevendors. Is that so bad?Let's tug ourselves together, ancestors, and get a grip. One way or another orother, we'll end this anxious behave, learn to holiday in a Slate-lessworld, and piece our lives back together.Never fit back, ancestors. Show, put on is solitary death (and a wholehatchery full of stunningly half-cocked business campaign).*
