This rather brings to mind a syndrome that sometimes occurred when an
old Arpanet mailing list got gatewayed to a Usenet newsgroup. After a
little while, some Usenet novice would commit some faux pas, a furious
Arpanaut would flame violently about how Usenet was nothing but bozos
who didn't understand How Things Should Be Done and the gatewaying was
a stupid idea, and the list maintainer would quietly observe that the
gatewaying had indeed produced problems, but it was also producing most
of the real content...
