koganbotThis week's column is something of a repeat of last week's, elaborating on both the functionality and dysfunctionality of sticking with our own (with our own people and their ideas). So, any thoughts about how to overcome the dysfunctionality, given that social clustering is necessary and inevitable?
The Rules Of The Game #17: Punks and Cats
I make no effort to justify the last three words of the piece. I just toss them in.
(Still don't know if I should ask the Web guy to insert the italics. Also, they added a strange paragraph break in the middle of a quote, and made "Net" lower case, which turns it into a mere piece of netting, whereas I was trying to have a double meaning, a normal net and an Internet. Last week I snapped at the fellow for dropping the final three paragraphs, and he objected to the snapping, which he should have, since he's always been friendly and cooperative and treated me with respect. It's not his fault they're understaffed. I don't know how far I should press him. But the editor-in-chief tells me I really should ask to get the italics included.)(EDIT: But they made "Web" lower case too, so lower case is probably just their style. Maybe I could have them put an apostrophe in front of "net.")
EDIT: Here are links to all but three of my other Rules Of The Game columns (LVW's search results for "Rules of the Game"). Links for the other three (which for some reason didn't get "Rules Of The Game" in their titles), are here: #4, #5, and #8.
UPDATE: I've got all the links here now:
