Quoting Ruben Safir (mrbrklyn-at-panix.com):
> It is about 4 pages in Washington Post, and that is what makes it different.
I hope you noticed my invisible tags on 'Extremely
useful. Thanks!'.
Suggestion: If forwarding entire articles (which BTW is disrespectful
to authors absent permission), try at bare minimum stating up-top a
summary and why it's worth reading. You might be pleasantly surprised
at the results.
An alternative that's both respectful and much more clueful is to quote
a few key sentences and provide the URL. Because, y'know, we've all known
for well over twenty years how to follow URLs.
I've said all of the above numerous times before, without result, so
I'll try to remember to not bother any more. And:
For the rest, I may dissect the Washington Post piece, and maybe comment
on the Sam Varghese piece & Jon Corbet's column. Elsewhere.
