Yes. Totally. I agree. Entertain me please, damn you. Entertain /me/.
With every post. With every topic. If a topic comes up which doesn't
interest me, I will write in and complain. Dear BBC, er, Nettime.
How dare you presume to have an uninteresting thread. You, who have
only had interesting threads since 1896! Please stop discussing this
boring topic at once. How dare you attempt to discuss something that
I find boring. I mean really.

I can't be the only lurker around here who is BORED TO DEATH. But I
