It’d be nice if everyone used that word, but for whatever reason there is a cadre of people out there who feel the need to be special.

Me, I’d use the word “citizens.”

I have to confess, I chuckle softly at “eTards,” but it’s certainly not a label I would apply to everyone.

Beats me. But it would appear that we’re stuck with it.

I’m not a fan of the word, either. What alternative would you suggest?

I really, really hate the word “netroots”.

Sorry, but that is all I have to add.

OMG, Miles!!! You’re going to be there too!!! I’m soooo excited about that. We’ll have to get together and do some podcasting or live blogging from it.

I wonder how many attendees/presenters will bike there, to save the environment.

There’s an incredible range of expertise and diversity of interests, there. Seriously, if you can squeeze out the time for it, it’s much recommended.

I’ll be there. And I’m mildly impressed how many sessions on the environment they have so far! I was expecting it to be all Iraq Bad/Bush Bad/McCain Bad.

WOW! A perfect occasion to try out the new satellite guided thermobaric bombs…

But I think the name change could pose a problem. The KKKos Konvention is so much more memorable.

You mean there are actually people that pay to listen to Nanzi Pelosi speak?

Hanging out with the character assassins of HRC, and paying for the privilege. I already have an important conflict at the\at time, watching paint dry somewhere.
