      Get-e *was* good, and useful. It could've done more in terms of this and that,
but so could everything. But I don't see why everyone feels that 'there can be
only one' of anything. I just don't understand this persistent idea that I've
seen here often. It's not good to have that, not at all. And if we take it to
its natural conclusion, any attempt to improve or create something new or different
would be met with resistance or hostility (for daring to challenge the status quo,
the established designate, the official power, etc).

      Why can't there be many sites each catering to specific needs.. each possibly
supporting some base set of apis/services and some specific ones? Whay can't every
app, that wants to, have one or more net-based 'extensions'? There's so much that
can be done.. and yet often, all I sense is a desire for restriction...?
