What is honoured in a culture will be cultivated there - even, as you say, a lack of cultivation.The bottom line is that if you want an herb garden with diversity, you need to keep the mint from taking over. If you want an herb garden that takes care of itself, don't bother planting anything but mint because after a couple years it'll be the only thing left.
Imgur has never been more than Imageshack or Tinypic with the profits sucked out. Now that they're pretending to be a big boy place they're trying to pump the profits back in. One of Reddit's worst mistakes was not buying that thing from MrGrim the day he created it.
Wow, I remember this conversation. This may have been the last thread I followed before I broke down and make my Hubski login in November 2013. I just, on a lark, googled my comments on reddit and looked for my name. I did a grand job of deleting my presence there; the only time my name shows up is in replies, and all of those are astronomy and work related, so all good on that front. My last mention was August 2014. The middle reddit, for me at least, was over. Ran that greasemonkey script to purge my profile and bailed. I care still because I have a sentimental attachment, but I don't contribute or give them page views any more.
