Sigh.

I was visiting Cliff Stein at Columbia Univ yesterday and got to speak about Lance's decision to stop blogging. A lot has been said already, all true and point to high important it was, and it takes a while to appreciate the moment. For me, it was important because I use Lance's blog to showcase how effective the theory community has been in communicating with each other, and in fact, use that as an example to inspire other communities (for ex, databases and networking) to do it too.
