you should it does the mind good

I guess I'd call it the rise of BS. Although I'm certain it will surprise you, but I don't really care about your opinion. (nor should you care about mine)

I wouldn't call JeffC's manner of communicating BS, but simply an excess of info for people who don't have the time or the need to accumulate the info he's sharing. Many of his sources are reliable and spot on in confirming or adding to the points being discussed. It's a bit of extra work for him. Not much different than what I go through to try to provide my readers with reliable info (that many of you may not care for), some good music (that many of you may not even listen to), and a nice photo every day. He puts the links for his sources. I don't. I appreciate the effort he puts into his communications.
