just for the record, yep I did think about moving, on more than one occasion. (I mentioned it in part 1, a little.) As for whether we were trying to force the town to do something only we wanted - it seemed like that to us at times for sure. But our belief was that having high speed internet service in town was something most people did want, not just us. and although we never built the system we thought we would, a very large majority did vote to create that muni system...
- akulbe 5y agoI'm ready for the rest of the story, OP! :)
- mad_ned 5y agoIf you mean "Thin Pipe, part II" - its there. hackernews moderators did something weird - this original post and early comments were just part 2 of the story, since i had posted part 1 separately last week. they relinked this part 2 post back to part 1, which was the earlier stuff leading up to the municipal broadband part. but the comments for part 2 remain. anyway sorry for any confusion - direct link for part 2 is here: https://madned.substack.com/p/thin-pipe-part-ii https://madned.substack.com/p/thin-pipe-part-ii
- dredmorbius 5y agoFYI, mods do get actively involved in adjusting titles and links. I don't know what happened here specifically, but it may have been that they thought that 1) this submission was getting traction and 2) part 1 would be a better introduction to the story than part 2. Interventions are made with the quality of the site in mind. (I'm just another reader, but have had many interactions with mods as well as watching what they do and why.) Submitting Part 2 in a few days would probably be a good idea.
