The Internet we used to know was built by and populated by a much more
coherent community, but, as it turned out, the Internet is great for
commerce and consumption, so now the Internet is full of consumers.  The
typical consumer is not very skilled; the older generation, that built
this Internet, is probably a bit old by now too.  Many are dead.  We're
probably the ones left.

When I got to know the Internet, I consciously started to trace its
history so I could learn the old ways of doing things because it was
clear to me the ``old people'' had learned important things and I wanted
to learn from them and take it from there.  But, boy, do people agree
with me?  They do not.  They can't even see what I mean.

You talk to a computer science student nowadays and they ``surely
learned their c programming language'', but never heard of Dennis
Ritchie or Brian Kernighan, nor have read the book.  They prefer to
learn from badly written essays and poorly crafted paragraphs.  It makes
no sense.
