Why?

I find that there are so many changes in so many areas that I'm much
better off skipping most of them.  Many are flashes-in-the-pan anyway,
and relatively few provide any significant productivity improvements
over what we already use.

Okay, by saying I skip most, I'm admitting I don't skip some, so obviously
I agree that you need to keep abreast of _some_ changes... but do you
really think you need to watch *every* change that comes by?  No one
has the time!
