perils of traditional social media (no, this blog is anonymous and is not traditional social media) are so insidious that they go unnoticed, but on a macro level, it may be one of the most damaging entities ever created to our civilization. It is like slow acting self inflicted poisoning. Actual tangible de-evolution.

When they first invented Threshers, lots of people got their arms cut off using them.  It took about a generation to get used to it.

Social media is the same way.  Lot's of people have gotten burned badly by it because they did not fully understand  the consequences.  It takes about a generation to get used to it.

WD don't explain yourself to people who say you have no life. I don't always agree with everything you say, but even 20-30 minutes on the computer a day is plenty to find out a ton of info. 

It is like whenever people "don't have time" to work out. Like go run for 15 minutes a few times a week and you won't be fat !

Stalk much.....  Besides that I think thats a good sign. He came of a visit with Mcafferey on campus. Hatcher is pushing hard to get people. Seems to be are biggest recruiter. Good vibes, but easier to over look it.

Interesting...  Last time we heard about some recruit following people after a recent visit, Wilson spurned us.  Maybe it'll be different this time?

It really isn't, because someone else found it. I only follow commits on social media. 

Your comment applies to when I do my annual searching of the U-M student directory to check off each incoming freshman on the list. 

Somebody has to do it. We found out earlier than the media did about Hawkins because I checked once a day and he was the only guy not in.
