If URNs actually existed we could probably shave a measurable fraction of Web traffic just with that tiny image, not to mention countless 116 byte disk files all over the place. Also, tossed Letterman's link. But now it's just another commercial venue, fundamentally. Added a link to the archive of Esther's gingRICH interview, since it was easy to find and made the page 'more useful'. My own fault.
Consumers seek quality.
The whole reason for creating this revision page was so that the 'truth', in the form of the evolutionary history of the home page, would be preserved while allowing the home page itself to be rewritten for 'quality', in the form of topicality, at liberty. But this page is public too and 'quality' pressures to rewrite the revision page grew as I started sticking all this sort of marginalia in here. Truth is born to die. Also, did a first cut at an Emacs macro to update the revision times between the home page and this baby. It's still pretty crufty.
