this is one of those Good Parts of the Internet that were so much more common even ten years ago (and near-ubiquitous 25 years ago) than now, containing zero LLM slop, zero affiliate marketing, zero Medium modal login banners, no creepy ads from a trillionaire and no decaying Twitter links. it is just a bunch of useful info condensed out of discussions about Babylon 5 on Usenet in the mid 90's, including from posts from jms, who used to hang around and mostly cryptically answer questions. it's still online, largely unchanged, 30 years later, links unbroken, no begging for money for hosting fees, no Partnership With An Exciting Brand Partner. bless the editor and all who helped.
