Sorry about that, Michael. I think that I will have to take off the filter that I have now and use something else instead. --- Thanks for covering this debate. It opened Jan. 15, and I kept noticing comments about my writing rather than my thesis on the Economist site, which intrigued me, because I’m a National Endowment for the Arts fellow. I anticipate criticism, such as appears here, concerning my stance. But my writing? I opened up my opening argument, and to my dismay, 2/3s of it was cut by a technical glitch, which proves the point I was trying to make about technology radically altering any system to conform to its interface or application, in this case Oxford Union debate rules established in 1823. Today our student newspaper ran a small bright about it, and I thought your readers would have interest in it: http://media.www.iowastatedaily.com/media/storage/paper818/news/2008/01/16/News/Glitch.Highlights.Directors.Point-3153496.shtml A quick note from Michael Bugeja, who had some trouble posting to my blog.
