My greedy intent in the first #vagequestionsbypablo thread was, besides seeing who you guys were, to find out what I could learn from Hubski. For a long time now I have been on a mission to prove to myself-- and disprove the parental and academic authority that dominates my whole damn life-- that I can grow, improve, and learn using tools other than a textbook and homework. I've found it is easiest to learn from other people. All different types of people, every different type of person, and so Hubski proved to be yet another medium to interconnect that also acted as a sieve for intelligent thinkers, honest and straightforward expression of thought and opinion, and some damn good content.

What I'm saying is, that's the whole point of my tag, and i'm trying to bring it out in slightly more specific topics. Having a big field of opportunities to build an answer to that question helps eliminate pressure on commenters, and stops me from attaching stigmas of "oh lil behaves and talks like this and that" which may kill my interest in what new ideas you may bring up. IRL I've found this occurs once you meet someone and they get the feeling they know what kinda guy you are, and you are treated in this way for as long as you know that new acquaintance (he's just a weird kid/jock/nerd/geek/whatever). Maybe in an end-game I'll bring all our motives to a close:) but seriously, feel free to post it on your own of course.
