   I would say that we should continue the work the tech ancients veered off of.   
   I remember browsing random forums and reading articles where there was   
   no begging for subs or linking Patreons or harrassing you to sub.   
   Today you can't read a single paragraph without finding some variation   
   of "buy my course" hidden between the lines.   
      
   Knowledge, the free flow of it, has become a lost art. Now it's drip-fed   
   with the hope of getting monetized.   
      
   I love the posts I see here from the people discovering usenet   
   groups or clients. Just figuring out how to post seems to bring so many   
   of us pure joy because it brings back, at least for me, that lovely   
   feeling of discovery.   
      
   Am not much of a blogger, but I plan to structure my thoughts into posts   
   as I learn or discover new things, and I hope to share them here in the   
   hope that others would do the same.   
      
   You can't post anything on /g/ without someone asking for the "use   
   case", but I trust that those posts without a purpose behind them, but   
   merely fueled by a desire to talk about technology and share one's   
   discoveries, would find echo and, dare I hope, discussion.
