Sorry guys, got carried away today!
I was home sick all day and spent the better part of 15 restless hours scouring the net and feeding my brain. I was collecting noteworthy links along the way, and generally posted (what I considered to be) the good ones in clusters as I returned to HN.
The inundation of knowledge, boredom and medication seemed to have triggered a bit of irrational exuberance. Not my typical posting activity as you can see by my submission history. It's back to the office tomorrow, which means I'll return to my normal 2 or 3 posts a day.
Apologies if I offended. Lesson learned.
