@Chema Hernández Gil Thanks for writing this.

@nprofile1q... Congratulations!

@nprofile1q... “Discretion is the better part of valor.” But this is a secret known only to a few.

@nprofile1q... Well, you have more cred in other spheres than the strivers on the site.

The leaderboards tell me that this competitive, gamified setup can motivate contributors susceptible to ego appeals. They may even seek bragging rights on the site precisely because they don't have similar status outside of it.

@nprofile1q... My clumsy reference was to those that are “accepted as best answer,” earning a point bonus and a green check mark. That particular feature seems starkly more competitive than collaborative.

@nprofile1q... Interesting thought experiment. The “sheet” would have two sides.

@nprofile1q... Thanks, that was just fabulous. What kind of tools do you use to compose a tracker tune?

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Jesse, do you buy the “No R-a-S album” reading? https://www.reddit.com/r/gratefuldead/comments/w2u0yi/one_from_the_vault_aka_urubouros_deedni_mublasaron/

@nprofile1q... Hmmm... he came and spoke at my high school in northern California right around the same time.... Don't think I can come up with the date though. Good luck 😅
