>One might think that Google would see OWNING the world's information as part of their mission
FTFY
But also, I do like the theory that early high level Google hires, across the org likely have embarrassing Usenet histories -- I mean, c'mon - I've bee 'online' since the early 90s...
I've said some cringeworthy stuff: for example - I used to actively participate in the Haiku thread on Craigslist in the early 2000s -- and I thought I was /r/IamReallySmart
It was fun at the time - but I put way to much time into writing long Haikus, and once spent a ton of time attempting to write my masterpiece, a palindromatic senryu...
((HAHAH I just went back to CL and read some of my Haiku I wrote on there... from 2003!))
