"Now, whenever I log on to SI, I sneer and glare at the Beta Test the New SI icon."

Boy. Me too.
It's a node of focus.
Like if I stare at it.....
it will go away.

If I open it,
I may never come back.

Or; like Mesmer.
As I stare at it,
trying not to, it begins to spin.

So you're right. It is involuntary,
like the dogs do to you every day.

Boy, is it.

But I just want you to know, as well, that I am a brave person; and I go in there.
To see.

To see if there's anything I can do;
to become a more responsible,
more adaptive person.

That's how I struggled in there,
to see if they really
weren't charging for membership.

It was a distasteful mission;
for me personally; it might not have been for others;
(an unpleasant mission); but crap, I did it.

I think it was only distasteful to "me",
because the proportions are off-setting, compared to home.

But I think we should make an effort.

Oh no.
