“What he [Steve Wasserman] dislikes about the Internet is that its neat aesthetics confer an unearned authority on the scribblings of ranters. You used to be able to tell a ‘nutter’ by the bizarre formatting of addressing on their envelopes, their disregard for margins, their crazy scrawl.

This is terrifying, so you’ve got to read online stuff carefully.”
