Again, agreed. I’m just bored tonight. No animosity here.

My goal was to point out that the metaphors is not equality working across all the examples.

Why Dropbox got NFS and not the postal service or train station locker?

Why google got Grep and not the Dewey classification system ?

Why HN got a pre internet, multi-milenary and deeply human “ancestors”. While BBS would have been sufficient?

Same for Craigslist and Amazon I guess.

Cause that's what I typed while in the bathroom at a baseball game after 2 beers and it wasn't my a-material :)

Thanks for clarifying, I guess I'm in paranoid mode...

I didn't say BBS because I was never on one.
