Help me understand...I hear a lot of "glittering generalisms" like that dickhead over on the Zoo talking about newsgroups having TOS agreement.
Are you talking out your ass too?

That was a quote from Vick back in 2001 and back then I was learning the biz and how to convert a surfer to a sale, so back then it was an "us".
It wasn't my quote, it was Vick's. I believe it was meant to be funny and reflected the attitude of the webmasters on the board back in 2001, as did the quote from Serge and webfather, although I find webmasters "fresh faces" to ring very true.
And, a 1:100 conversion would still be a decent conversion today for many folks.
All I was saying was just because it was a flat board does not mean there wasn't a shitload of good reading there, whether you agree with it or not.
