Subject: Slowly down the drain

Aloha, Paul.

The list will pick up when there isn't so much competition for people's 
limited bad news attention span.

Real fear gets in the way of meaningful work (and discussion) -- we need 
a happy middle ground where there's just the right amount of fear but 
enough optimism to provide us with a reason to worry that things might 
get worse. There's no reason to fear that our work here will be 
permanently upstaged by world geopolitical events -- and no reason that 
I can see to complain that the list hasn't excited you lately.

Do something exciting. And cheer up.

Sincerely,

Jason Coombs
