Filters and bottlenecks is a great thing to consider because somethings are more bottleneck like than they should be.  Entrance into nursing school and Medical school come to mind.

indeed, we all know the best way to better a thing is to destroy it =) 

What does =) mean?

Anyway, what we should all know is that whether something should be bettered or destroyed can't be decided a priori. 

I'm trying to look at it from Robin's perspective rather than my own. The blog continues to supply positive externalities; I'm not complaining. But for someone who wants to have impact, like Robin, it makes sense to remember that ends receive great emphasis when people evaluate the success of an endeavor. Petering out is a bad strategy. (Even Luke Muehlhauser understood that and closed his atheism blog soon after it began to deteriorate).
