Most of the time I&#8217;m protecting the collection, but<br \/>\nsometimes I protect the people. Call me Randy.<\/p>\n<p>2. What&#8217;s this site about?<\/p>\n<p>My coefficient of clue on this one is the same as above. Although,<br \/>\nit has occurred to me that in a universe governed by quantum mechanics,<br \/>\nclue cannot really be exactly zero. Uncertainty requires zero-point clue. <\/p>\n<p>Shortly , I plan to make my way towards &nbsp;the Center for High<br \/>\nEnergy Metaphyics. However, I will stop short at the Center for Quantum<br \/>\nBlogodynamics [aka the Berkman Center] to see &#8216;sup? Hopefully they will<br \/>\nhelp me figure out what this site is about.<\/p>\n<p>3. How can people send you feedback?<\/p>\n<p>Well e-mail works. I suppose Manila will give me niftier things.
