Seriously, everyone: What we witnessed today was one of the most amazing Web "uprisings" we can imagine. We suspect there will be quite a few "all right, maybe we should rethink how we do this" meetings in Bristol tomorrow, and it's entirely thanks to you. We didn't even have to prod you; it was a b...
