I typed this to let younger folks know that plenty of older Netizens do not care one little bit about any consumers or programmers making money off consumers. I wrote the late 80's Harvard Ultrix manual and worked with Steve Crocker, Brad Cox, Mark Pincus (pre-Zynga) and many others. None of us let our kids near the consumer Web (or TV's). The faster our consumer Net dies on the vine the better. Wield code to automate solutions or feed better decision support. Folks coding to sell pizza, porn and distractions need better careers and motivations.



While I respect your opinion, it seems to me that your use of the internet is just as vulnerable to the net-neutrality doomsday scenario as everyone else's.

Your basic internet is only $50/mo, but you'll need to purchase the "hacker" package for an additional $25/mo to get access to the Ultrix forums.
