I really thought I was going to, but the other replies provide so much context, plus it's kind of like time traveling and being a fly on the wall in a conversation that took place over 25 years ago. I'm just imagining them all looking like the cast of Friends while sitting at their 15-inch 90s PC screens typing these electronic-mails in software I wouldn't recognize. And you have people chiming in and calling out argument flaws and offering suggestions on new words for "make POSIX" like posixiate. Fun stuff! It's like the comment section of an HN post. Which is funny because HN evolved out of mailing lists like that, and the culture did too.
