  Well, it seems not seeing this response in a timely manner has worked out for me as Bryan himself responded already but the joke was that he's often talked about being sidelined by doing journal study and/or obsessing over old manuals and papers. He also gave a paperswelove[0] on two papers in 2016, one of which is actually in the ACM library[1], and was involved with systemswelove[2]. Bryan, if you're reading this, I'm not a stalker. Apparently being accused of making a "submarine post" makes for a thorough reply, from me at least, even never having heard the term before.

Ha -- I've actually been a Digital Library subscriber for a long time due to my association with ACM Queue, and tried in vain for years to get the ACM to do something like this. I did convince them years ago to let selected practitioner DL subscribers "unlock" interesting articles, which I promptly did myself with one of my all-time favorite articles[0] -- but ACM didn't publicize the program (or really even mention it?) and to the best of my knowledge, that article was the only one made available.
