Morgan proclaimed this evening that it seems like everyone is trying to make it harder to search the Internet.  "Because every time you search for something," he observed, "you just get about a hundred -- blog posts or something, and all kinds of stuff that doesn't even have anything to do with your keywords!"

"I'm pretty sure it's not that they're trying to make it harder to search the Internet," I said, "but that's definitely one of the results."

"Why do people even do stuff like that?" he demanded. "Why do people post all that stupid stuff?"

"Everyone thinks they have something to say," I said, "It's just that most of them don't have anything interesting to say."

"Those people aren't smart enough to post things on the Internet," he said with a snarl.

This post was so wonderful that I had to read it out loud to J, who howled as loudly as I did.

Out of the mouths of babes...

Yes, if only it was like the good old days, where one got a warning about how much your Usenet post was going to cost, and you read the warning, hit "y," and got on with your posting.
