RSS feeds parte dos
I guess I'm too subtle. Maybe I'm not.
I do enjoy going to a library and opening a forgotten book or two to do research. Sometimes the pages stick together, and you have to carefully pry them apart with your fingernails. Sometimes you have to go in with a mask because there's just too much dust on the poor things. Accidently sneeze and cause an asthma attack as the light powdered stuff goes flying in all directions. Then of course you have the idiots who underline in the precious tomes. As if these were your personal copies! Dish out the nickles, make a xerox and scribble to your hearts content, but don't be an idiot and leave a mark where it's not wanted.
And, if you're going to use an analogy, make sure it works. Online research is useful, but it's incomplete without the library, unless you work in a rich firm that can afford Westlaw. Besides, in my original post about RSS newsreaders, though I was making fun of the whole idea, I was also making fun of myself, since I linked to the one I use, and my RSS feed is at the very bottom of this page sans the orange button, which I still consider to be unaesthetic.
