Welcome To Birt's Influential Culture Smackdown

This is the online home for Influential Culture. While I have termed it a "smackdown," this blog is no place for physical violence or the act of smacking down. We engage in enlightened discourse here, and we contribute because we are greedy extra credit grubbers (just kidding).

I will put posts up on this blog for your discussion, and I will also allow anyone who wants to post themselves to have access to this blog as well (give me your email address, and I'll invite you to post). Either comment on the posts that others make (don't need to email me), or become a poster yourself (email me).

Commenting nets you smaller extra credit points, creating your own posts nets you more extra credit points.

There are rules:

1. Be nice
2. Spell check
3. Think hard
4. Write clearly

I have IP address tracking software, so if anyone decides they want to be a cyber vandal, I will bring the literal smackdown.

Be cool.
