Thanks. No opinion. But I've read Slashdot every day [since the 90s] even though it's no longer a career requirement. Slashdot was the first news aggregator, and has the best moderation system of anyone, even Reddit (whom Facespook is copying*).

Hopefully, a little of it would go to Mexico.
Think of it as load-balancing. Caching and shifting electricity in time and space. The water that goes round and round between the upper and lower reservoir is the medium.
*Reddit lets you vote up or down (like and dislike) but Slashdot let's you say why (interesting, insightful, funny). And you can view comments at different score levels (and higher).
