I never tell people that they 'need' to do something, so I'll say I highly suggest you do.

So, to make it easier for you - I've grabbed a laptop and dug out the link:

https://tech.slashdot.org/story/99/02/11/0939233/multiple-os...

I absolutely encourage anyone/everyone to read the linked comments. It's one of my favorite examples when a number of discussions come up.

My preferred time to reference it is when people say things like, "Slashdot used to be so much better!" Or when they say things like, "We had much better commentary back in the day!"

No, no they did not. In fact, it was never as good as people recall it being. That is kind of what makes it so wonderful and why I love discussion sites.

I am, by no means, innocent or superior. ;-)
