  Fair point. I submitted this because I wrote it, and in the story, I tried to add context and background that wasn't in the original. Most people read the headline, don't even understand that, and then comment. :-(

      I mean welcome to the internet, you see this happen even on news articles themselves, people will read the headline, scroll to the bottom to comment something that’s explained in the article. For a long time the verge has users who were notorious for this. It got so bad that they had to institute a “summer of chill” where most articles had comments turned off (which was a novel concept at the time).

        I'm aware. My primary email is 32 years old now, but I was online 6 years before that.

    It took your article for me to go trawling in the blog’s comments section and realize (some of) the files were actually released[1], not just blogged about, so thanks for that :) [1] https://archive.org/download/splash_20230516 https://archive.org/download/splash_20230516

      Oh, good find! I did not spot that either.
