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.
