Formatting

So, I was reading the comments left on the Kyoto post, and the ideas are too good to languish on one of our back pages. Lets try to post stuff as threads on the main-page. I mean, have a new subject come up with a new title, and then the later posts that refer back to the first, will keep that title...people will have to read backwards, but they'll figure it out.
Also, Chad, your post is wonderful and intense, but it covers a lot of ground. It'll be easier to respond to (and I will get around to it soon) if you post one topic per post...And if you think instapundit is sarcastic, well, you're wrong. Go read the blog again. In fact, go to the front page and just keep scrolling. His blog is all links to other blogs, with an occaisional snippet from the post he links to. He's very even handed, even though he leans libertarian. If you want to know what the blogosphere is talking about, go read instapundit.

If you guys want to read some group blogs that work well, check out the Corner, from the National Review, or the Volokh Conspiracy. The first is a bunch of conservative pundits arguing with each other, and the second is a bunch of lawyers and law professors and some other people, I think. They're both good examples of intelectual group blogs, and how the conversation works...we don't have to work like them, but they do get about 10,000 unique visitors a day, so they're probably a good example in terms of format...

Thanks for joining the project, by they way. I think it's going to be a lot of fun.
