I can imagine future historians will be mining the Extropy archives for
decades, marveling that it was one of the early meeting places for
future-minded hipsters.  

When Eliezer Yudkowsky was a teenager, he used to post a lot here.  A meme
he sometimes said which really astonish me for its insight was along the
lines of "Be careful what you post here, or anywhere.  The internet never
forgets."

He was right.  I may someday regret some of the silliness I posted here,
particularly the comedy, that sex lamas business and the other stuff.  Or
not; I had fun with it then, and would probably laugh again if I read some
of the goofiness I posted here a long time ago when I was a mere child of 30
years.  

Some of those wordplay storms were hilarious.  We don't do those anymore.
Remember when anyone would make any funny typo, and of course Damien
Broderick and I would jump on it, then sometimes Max and the other infamous
punsters, and WOW that was great geek fun.
