Is there no way out of this mess?
[IIRC, once you outlined the difference (in comp.lang.lisp) between a
world (such as the original ARPANET) where each person has his own mail
server and one (such as ours) wherein everyone used a single mail
server (like the one for Google Mail.) I think you gave the example of
Minitel.
So, now, instead of an N * M network we have an N * 1 network.
This may or may not be relevant.]

I suppose that the end is a good one, even though not all the new users
will stay on to become better than newbies, and fewer experts.
