That's it. I thought the list was more of an open format centered on BEAM
topics, but a few (and they seem to usually be the original 10 or 20) find
the
bug eyed exuberance of BEAM discovered to be a nuisance. Even an out and out
insult. Yes, the list has changed, it has to do with the E in BEAM standing
for evolution, growth, and change. >>
I have to agree. If it wasn't for new people getting in to BEAM, the field
would eventually die when the few worthy enough of discussing the topic
perished (probably by lead poisoning from solder fumes or skin cancer from
overexposure in the desert sun, eh Los Alamosers? As new people become
interested in BEAM, the popularity of this style of robotics will grow, and so
will the innovation. Newby questions and newbie websites and the occasional
complete junk post are all a part of this. Deal with it. And, on as last
little bit to this message, I would like to say that we should leave this
string at that. Oh, sweet irony!!
