Web archeology

[elfs]

Twelve years ago, I was the official (ahem) keeper of the alt.sex FAQ. I found a copy on-line the other day and decided to take a look at it. You know something? For when it was built, circa 1997, it wasn't bad. It wasn't bad at all. Oh, sure, there were font problems and bad anchors and links, and it wasn't at all what we'd expect to see now, but for 1997 it was not only state of the art, it was forward-looking in terms of accessibility.

With one exception. I used tables for layout.

I'm so ashamed.

It's ok, Elfs, we all used tables in 1997.

I remember that FAQ. You were something of an alt. legend.

It was such a nice thing. *grin*

I too remember it well from way back then- my last undergrad year at college was memorable for a number of related reasons. That, and your earlier writings ;).

I wonder what web SOP from today we'll all cringe at in 12 more years?
