    It occurred to me....

    ...that in ShooterWorld, there would be no World Wide Web, and no forums like these. We'd still be in the era of Frame Relay/ATM networks with no any-to-any connection, and the IP protocol would be a curiosity in the engineering laboratories of universities.

    So consider having to listen to Shooter (and you don't really have to, you can ignore him entirely) is simply one side of the coin; the shadows that necessarily come with the light.
