I guess I'm one of them. I put up a MySpace page a few months ago, trying to locate people for planning a 20th high school reunion. I've actually found more of my classmates at MySpace than at any other site on the 'net.
Funny that you mention that. After browsing MySpace for the first time about 2 months ago, I decided that I don't even have a reason to return for my upcoming 10th class reunion. Think about it... Why would one go? (A) To see what people look like now and (B) To get a brief description of what they're up to. Since everyone from my class that I am even remotely interested in has a MySpace profile with those two ingredients (or is a friend that I keep in constant contact with), I can do something productive that weekend that doesn't involve career brag-fest and creeps hitting on my hot wife.
Arguing that because the eye has a blind spot therefore it wasn't designed is like saying that my watch isn't designed because it has an analog display and not a digital one. Heck, we know my watch is designed even if I take the battery out and it doesn't function at all... seeing the intricate interlocking parts is sufficient, even if they aren't moving.
Something can be intelligently designed without being optimally designed. My rusty '88 Bonneville was designed even though it is inferior to a brand new Lambourghini. Moreover, I challenge User:4.250.168.186 (and the slashdot folks) to make a new eye that is better than the ones we have, blind spot and all. It is always easier to be a critic than a writer.
