you're solving a problem you made. want a medal?


We didn't make the problem. We're just having fun with silly URL hacks and giving people something fun to show their friends. While we're at it, we're trying to do it the best way we know how.


Good comeback.


There's always the choice not to participate in some activity.


Among other things, that would have solved the Great Depression, World War I, and Germany's hyperinflation in the thirties. Also AIDS.


Yep, Linkrot is right up there.


This comment suggests you don't understand my point. Which is basically that people will act in their own individual interest even when its obvious that if everyone does the same thing, bad things are the inevitable result.


this comment is unbelieveably snarky, if it were anyone other than joshu I have a feeling they'd be at -4 right now, not +4. Would you really say "want a medal?" in person. I doubt it.


You've obviously never met me.
