Add me to the tally of those who want to keep Kevin Bacon (and A.J.). He was fun at the time, and he's still fun. I think it's essential to keep people in that category simply because they're fun. Besides the usefulness of that sense of fun in terms of attracting people to the site in the first place, I think it's essential for us to instil and maintain that sense of fun in what we do to remind ourselves that this whole enterprise is supposed to be fun, so that when we get tempted to flame somebody else for doing something we don't like, we can take a deep breath, remind ourselves, "DWWA", and remember that this is a hobby. We're not doing brain surgery, we're not robots, mistakes can be fixed, and people and relationships are more important than dotting every "t" and crossing every "i".
