On Monday (yesterday) in the grand challenge discussion a member of the audience made a point that the InfoVis community should get over its Inferiority Complex and it's Ego Trip. It was met by nervous laughter and (hopefully) some introspection. Good point.

I agree with you, it's a bother to have to register to post comments. I think more people would if there wasn't that need. Unfortunately that's a requirement of the platform I'm being hosted on. Thanks for taking time to register and comment though.
