Agree wholeheartedly. But the problem is deeper than that.
We have a parade of vanities long enough to march down Broadway. I have no problem with a long, well written vanity that attempts to educate. I've posted a few of those, although I haven't posted one in three years at least.
It's time for the purveyors of vanities to pay up at FReepathon time. We should be able to finish off a FReepathon in a month or less. We have too many free riders here.
Respectfully, a suggestion. When a vanity is posted, the FReepathon team should post a Vanity Tax amount to that post -- with your explicit backing -- and if the poster doesn't pony up, the vanity gets deleted.
“We have a parade of vanities long enough to march down Broadway”
You got that right. As time goes on, I find I’m skipping many more threads than I’m checking out. I’m all for vanities that add something to the conversation, but some, frankly, are just taking up space.
