You see this type of template response copy pasted basically under any post/comment of this kind.
I think at the end of the day we’ll be able to look back and see what/who fared better, based on actual data.
There's something so innocent about the early days when even Microsoft thought we'd be running Personal Web Servers and hosting our own websites in a peer-to-peer fashion.

The Personal Web Server is ideal for intranets, homes, schools, small business workgroups and anyone who wants to set up a personal Web server.
