  I miss these long form nerd rants. 360 pages. I'd pick chain mail collections on handcrafted html sites over current day blog spam any day.

  So many previous posts and discussions that I don't have time to copy and paste them all.

  But, yes, absolutely seminal text. Many of its complaints do still apply today. I'm glad people are still discovering it in 2025.
