Oh yeah, I feel nostalgic for the good old days too. We walked
uphill, both ways, in a blizzard, to upload our packages, and
we LIKED it ! But the world changes. We are no longer a small, well
knit group, who can depend on tacit agreements between people who
know each other, or depend on the heroics of remarkable people who
accomplished the impossible. We need protocols that do not depend on
intimate camaderie, and those that do not have us depending on the
genius of pioneers. We need an infrastructure that us mortals can
handle.
