I’ve been subscribed to the Metafilter RSS feed for a while now, but this is the first time I’ve seen discussion veer into”free jazz”. Since Metafilter is no longer accepting new users, the only way I can participate in the comments is by trackback… The post is seeded around a pointer to an extensive “consumer [...]
