How old are you? How long have you been using the Internet? Do you remember the time before commercial use of the WWW?

Yes
Any thoughts on the rest of my comments?
[1] There hasn't been any change. It's just my perception, and that turns out to be wrong.
Your comment here is neither, and it just turned a discussion about the morality of ad-blocking and the viability of ad-based revenue models into a dick measuring contest.
Not cool.
It wasn't intended that way though - I was genuinely just trying to see if people who'd used the Internet earlier were more aware of things like Boulder pledge. (Turns out several people who had significant involvement in Internet email at the time didn't know about it.)
When Floegipoky decided DanBC's comment was probably not made in good faith, I don't think it's fair to characterize this as a mere assumption. More like an inference well supported by the available evidence.
