When you have been around as long as I have, you get the feeling of deja vu all over again
Back in the seventies, the exact same bullshit flew. What year were you in the Haight (that would be San Francisco to the uninitiated)? 66.....very cool....67.....not so cool....68....well you were a loser newbie. But as time passes, those couple of years mean nothing. And the casualites from those days were copius. That is why I laugh at the Mayflower bullshit because no one cares. In fact time moves so much faster today that this shit is irrelevant much quicker. I work with folks that were ten years old in 1998. You think they give a fast flying fuck? To them the internet is like a phone. It has always been there and the "pioneers" mean nothing. Now all the old colonel blimps are sitting around telling "whenwe" stories about what a big noise they were back in the "old school" day. I just shake my head and laugh.
I do think, even though I don't like him much, that 12 clicks for whatever reasons decison to step into the new century with his olden days experience takes some balls. This should be interesting.
