From a practical viewpoint, boasting sessions are a complete waste of your time. I get 90% of the information online, and mostly right here. Sometimes I actually get new information as an apostate about 6 weeks before the witlesses get them, even as hounders.
Additionally, I get to see what a waste of time attending boasting sessions really is. Most of the articles are scatter-brained. The article about the new Kingdumb maladies contains a major argumental fallacy--starting a discussion about high quality music, and then tying their pxxx poor excuse for music to the discussion. And there are way too many parts at the boasting sessions discussing attendance. This is a complete waste of everyone's time. I feel there would be more in attendance if something of genuine value was created at the Kingdumb Hells, which there is none.
