Huh? Excellent book but I don't recall it having the slightest mention of anything remotely applicable to the current thread... Care to refresh my memory?
The book wasn't just about Ender being raised to be the Last Bugkiller. Much of the activity was Ender's brother and sister carrying on conversations on The Net, with multi-layered reputation systems affecting who got invited to speak on particular mailing lists, who got listened to, etc.
