Interesting. OTOH, you ain't need nothing but plain
evolution to see it happen: people thinking publicly
on a mailing list like this one is just enough (and
no "help" from a wicked monopolistic company is to
be assumed ;) ).
I believe it's a property of a topic itself, whether
it's something for a long discussion, or something
superfluous. A topic we kill each other for is
interesting on its own right: it is both irrelevant
and is only a matter of coincidence when and who
happens to be the firestarter.
If an important issue that has the potential to divide
us or has some other profound effect on our world here,
one can be sure it WILL just pop up, and we WILL discuss
it sooner or later, simply because such a topic needs
to be resolved somehow...
It's just the nature of these intellectual things:
different minds -- like winds -- shape the surface of
our common landscape here, over long or short, calm
or stormy, one-time or recurring debates.
