Doing research for the book aaaand:
I was already familiar with the "Everything about the Internet is bad" Greek chorus of Nicholas Carr et al - the early Internet equivalent of nocoiners, if you will - but I seem to have hit a rich vein of "the Internet would be so much better if only those damn Internet maxis would have listened to me" cope - from Louis Pouzin at CYCLADES (pre-TCP/ARPANet) to Mark McCahill at University of Minnesota (Gopher) to Robert Desjardins (OSI).
It's wild how often the same behavioral pattern repeats itself, with even the same personality (arche)types. Maybe I should be studying mental health and dysfunction instead of networking...?
