I wont be there this year. . will be in =anta fe, with chomsky and group I would much rather be with Chomsky and =ou any day. TED, more and more is becoming a goyshekopf cult (even for =he few Jews that still attend). But wait a minute - are you going to =et along with Chomsky over Israel? Or, more likely, is that why you are =aving the meeting? Things here are great. I am very pleased about it. Maybe I =hould auction off naming rights. Funny thing happened with EDGE. In the =ast year or so according to Google Analytics, it's advanced to the =ageRank 8/10, reserved to mega-websites (think ESPN, AOL), and/or major =ublications with hundreds, if not thousands of employees. EDGE, as far =s I can tell, is the only independent website with a 7-10 PageRank =hich indicates that it has the same importance and influence as The =conomist, FT, Le Monde, Sueddeutsche Zeitung. Wall Street Journal, =ashington Post. Yearly Readers: 1.7m. Go figure. It goes without =aying, of course, that without your moral support and not just money, =t never would have happened.
