I still disagree.  Google Ken Causey, or Cees De Groot, or anyone you can
think of that is on SqueakPeople and notice that their contact information
from squeakPeople is in the top 10 entries.  It serves a purpose that it is
a trusted site with lots of links.  I think it's used the way it was
intended.  It's facebook before it's time :)  I never really found the blogs
to be terribly useful, but for knowing who is who and what they do and are
interested in it is pretty useful.  Besides it's where we register to vote
so it's a good place for us to get reacquainted and meet new members once a
year during the voting period.
