With apologies for the outburst:
When I first subscribed to tuhs several years ago (even though I don't
really belong in here; I'm younger than even Linux, much less any of
the Unixen), I *very much* enjoyed reading the various stories about
UUCP, about Sun, about X11, VMS, ARPAnet – often first-hand tales, no
less.
So I don't know what counts as 'signal' on this list versus
'noise',
but I'd much rather read a million posts about OSI, CLNP and other
networks – a history lesson and information that's been getting scarce
in general – than kill/mute yet another thread full of generic "boo M$
Windoze" drivel that I can already find on Reddit.
I concur. However, discussions of how many necks Jimmy Page's guitar had
were pretty much way off topic. I mean, really, THREE? Led Zeppelin was
slightly before my time (I'm 53). But who doesn't know it was only two?
