Google Groups (or any of the equally easy-to-use alternatives) now make the construction of a forum trivially simple. The limiting factor in communicating with other humans is apparently no longer the absence of a container for your words, but instead the lack of a topic worthy of the time it takes to write down. I think I'll call this switch the Gutenberg Inversion, and claim it to be a great challenge of our times. If anyone wants to argue the point (or extend it, or say anything else) then feel free to use the topic pages below.
