The situation does prove to be an interesting sort of social experiment, however. Metafilter becomes an entirely different beast with a greatly reduced amount of traffic and, more importantly, no mathowie. Two days, 12 posts, 91 comments, and three double posts. That’s exactly twenty-five percent Crap™. Draw your own conclusions about the workload involved in keeping the site useful on a regular day.

On another note, does someone strictly have to be dead before they can be canonized? Wasn’t there something in Vatican 2 about that?
