The brave and maniacal few are in the middle of five 800-page tomes in print at once (I am right now), and think that books under 300 pages are for wussies. The OCD frantic folk think that web sites less than 14 layers deep, with 5,000-word essays on each layer, are lightweight. And social networking for this crowd is not about Twitter briefs and what Fred Flintstone is having for breakfast right now, it's about Krugman and friends arguing the merits of CDOs. Be one of the proud, the few. Be OCD excessive-obsessive. And if 97 percent of your brethren can't follow you, well fuck 'em, they're morons and you can look snobbier than them.
