"I'm rather excited to get going with Soylent and to watch it grow. Nay, help it grow. I have lurked in /. for more than a decade (note: I'm not the same username over there, I know, how sneaky), and always wished I could have been involved with the beginning. So this is a great opportunity, and I joined as soon as I saw what Soylent was doing. Not to mention the fact that I felt right at home with the old style. It's very comfortable.
So here's a question for everyone. Are we going to be the same as slashdot? A clone that focuses as entirely as possible on tech related news? Or will we branch out to other topics? I'm interested to see either way. I posted a comment to this effect in one of our two existing polls, and it may be a community-wide assumption, but I do think it merits a discussion."

Wow, thanks. Glad you're enjoying it. Slow down, though -- I just posted chapter 32 this morning (see my journal, it's a Soylent exclusive until tomorrow), 33 won't be posted until Tuesday (everyone else gets it Wednesday) and the last four chapters next Saturday. From the timestamp of your comment I'm guessing you're in Australia or New Zealand?
I got a similar comment from someone at slashdot I emailed an abridged version of The Paxil Diaries to. He'd planned on reading a chapter a night and before he realized how late it had gotten he'd finished it. That one will be in print shortly.
I wish someone would tell me how much I suck, I'm getting a swelled head.
Please tell everyone about it, and thanks again for reading!
