There were a few archivists active in the early days. Due to various reasons, their archives may never see the light of day. For those that still have some, the feeling of a finger hovering over rm is a rather intoxicating experience, and the nostalgia of pointing their browser at http://127.0.0.1/ is quite fine indeed :) Kudos Gwern on your publication. Over a decade's worth of other stories are certainly waiting to be told. -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
