Thanks for that link. Nostalgia!

Butler's post reminds me of Infoworld's [link|http://static.userland.com/userLandDiscussArchive/msg008043.html|Inclusion software forums]. I remember the text being hard-coded in a font that was nearly invisible with a 1600x1200 desktop. I'll bet they thought they used sane defaults. ;-D

In searching around, I came across [link|http://linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2005-01-09-008-26-OP-SW|this] LinuxToday story that was a pointer to Chad Dickerson's IW article about open source and outsourcing their antispam efforts. It sounded, based on the responses at LT (the feedback area at IW is either gone or very well hidden), that the thinking at IW hadn't changed much. :-/ I see that Chad [link|http://weblog.infoworld.com/dickerson/|left] and now works for Yahoo Search.

Ah, [link|http://www.goodeatsfanpage.com/Humor/SNL/DeliciousDish1.htm|good times].

Cheers,
Scott.
