nice site. I read your old Yesterweb analysis post btw. I know that was a long time ago but I still laughed because I remember that absolutely ridiculous document and went through the same experience of unraveling it that you did!
i think a lot of people were bamboozled into thinking it had substance by the lofty academic obscurantist style and excessive length... i guess the medium is the message, as they say
i hate that it's the most popular post ever on my site, it disappoints me that nothing plays better online than discussing internet drama (sometimes it feels like that's the main function of the internet), but i guess if that piece lured in just one person who then read the rest of my bs too then maybe it's worth it...
Sorry then for contributing to that feeling. I wouldn't say it was what drew me it, but it's just nice to know I wasn't the only one that went through that thought process when that happened. I'll be following your site and paying attention to you in the future though in any case.

one might say the state of the internet is suboptimal
