    A post title noticed elsewhere:

    "The Gemini Protocol in 2026: growing, but still
    not setting the Internet aflame"

    Isn't it amazing that despite there actually
    being a phrase that is a testament to what
    happened to USENET when a critical mass
    of idiots arrived to participate in it
    (the "Eternal September"), there are
    still morons thinking that goodness
    of an online space is proportional
    to the number of idiots there?
