^ bingo. This could change and I hope it does to some extent but for the time being it is what it is.


I don't hope it does. I'd rather we have fluff made of ones and zeroes that costs virtually no marginal energy to produce than fluff that you have to ship from China at great energy expense. Unless you live in a tent and eat nothing but cornmeal, tofu, and nutritional supplements everything you own is fluff.
