"The Spread of Ranting in a Large Social Network": Maybe Later

It was suggested at lunch in the workshop today that my coauthor James Fowler should write (with Nicholas Christakis, of course) a paper called The Spread of Ranting in a Large Social Network and that I should be used as the seed node. :)

In similar news (though this occurred a couple of weeks ago at Oxford), my preferred writing style in my research papers has been described as "aggressively cautious", and I consider this to be a compliment.
