Tradition
Kids these days have a strange idea of "traditional." From "The
California Tech," Caltech's undergraduate newspaper:
> ASCIT Newsgroup Nears Completion
...
> The newsgroup would operate off donut.caltech.edu, ASCIT's web site.
> The Donut Development Team . . . first tossed around planes to manage
> it via genuine NNTP protocol [sic] -- the back-end powering most of
> the Internet's so-caled "newsgroups" -- but ultimately decided on a
> more traditional Web-based discussion board.
> The team is now in the meticulous process of scripting the newsgroup's
> code base, a task made more difficult by the team's refusal to use and
> adapt freely available packaged scripts. Though tedious, ground-up
> coding has long been the Donut developers' trademark.
Need I point out that we already have a perfectly working caltech.*
hierarchy on news.caltech.edu? Sigh.
