hah. Yeah. The hacker news crowd is subtly different from a purely technical crowd, in that posts like this are Okay. Actually, I think hacker news, and the culture around it helped me to develop a healthy attitude towards marketing. (If you had known me a few years back, well, I had an extremely negative attitude towards marketing, something that isn't particularly healthy for a business owner.)

One of these days, though, once I get myself setup with some cheap storage, I'm going to start archiving non-binary NNTP groups, and setup historical NNTP search. nntp-> email gateways, I think, are also one of the better ways of making mailing lists searchable.
