In response to the deluge of complaints I got today (and by deluge I mean one) from readers complaining that they had no new content today, let me issue the following formal apology: There will be no new content from AFC for the majority of the week due to grant deadlines and upcoming lectures. Sorry guys. I am working on finding a guest blogger for the remainder of the week, but with two solid maybes, I must say submissions are welcome.

Interesting comments, I heard them on rant night too. But hey, the sound did suck a bit, so it’s good to read them spelled out here.
My comment is just that in general the negative comments about #class didn’t really faze me, since I don’t really see the world in flat out good guy/bad guy terms anyway.
However, there is going to be insularity in any community, and for people sitting comfortably tucked away in less aggressive towns, there is definitely some “whatever” attitude. As much as the virtual aspect draws us in, geography does make a difference.
Having said that, its been a brilliantly wonderful experience for me to listen and dialogue and make new friends, in NYC, Louisiana, Alabama, Seattle, Toronto, London among other places. I would definitely fall into the group of those who tweeted in a number of those who listened and participated, and where happy to have some intensely positive engagement.
