Nothing like measured, well reasoned cheer to start the new year with! But someone had to rain - a commenter points out a similar article Dave Griffith posted on usenet in 1997 which he reread and found the difference between '97 and now is actually rather depressing). I couldn't find the 97 usenet post he is referring to but that's a good thing anyway :)
