Writing about what you know ---> "Participatory Narcissism" = large leap

Funny, Jeff Atwood does EXACTLY what he accuses pg of doing, albeit with less style.

pg is at a unique intersection to observe that which most never see. We don't have to agree with the leap - that's what makes this a forum instead of a circle jerk.
