I think that when the history of this era is written, this list will
be mentioned as an important intellectual forum. And then people
will all think we were standing around the salon in togas, having
erudite conversations. Nobody will remember flamewars about gun
rights or punfests. I suspect the same is true for our historical
writing - the Greek symposia did leave hints in the form of messy
drinking games (kottabos, anyone?)<br>
