As we move into the millennium's second decade, a new genre of career has emerged, through [[LinkedIn]]’s oily midwifery: the ''[[panel discusser]]''. These are people who spend most of their working lives attending, moderating or speaking on [[panel discussion]]s.

What do [[panel discussers]] imagine their network will make of their news? Do they expect it to be flooded with envy, or jealousy, or remorse at the sparkling debate it now discovers it has missed?
