Alas, there is a big gap between 1994 and 1998 in terms of publicly
available archives.  I keep meaning to post my private archives (which are
somewhat damaged, but still have a lot of content), but I never get
around to it.

Oh, very well, grumble grumble.

Micropayment advocates mistakenly believe that efficient allocation of
resources is the purpose of markets.  Efficiency is a byproduct of market
systems, not their goal.  The reasons markets work are not because users
have embraced efficiency but because markets are the best place to allow
users to maximize their preferences, and very often their preferences are
not for conservation of cheap resources.  --Clay Shirkey
