RE: Crypto makes me feel like a pioneer again. Just like the internet did in my youth.

Oh man, I'm getting lucky these days finding your posts pretty much straight off the printing press!

I can so relate to your words, bro. In university, I remember our lecturers telling us our coursework required at least "5" different sources of information when drafting our work. Textbooks, magazines, journals, on-campus literature and of course, the Internet.

Everybody (including me) quoted those sources directly from the Internet but cited them as coming from the various media they wanted. Lol, the teachers were either completely oblivious to it or knew they could do nothing to discredit their students submissions.

Wonder if the same rules still apply today in universities? Lol, indeed the Internet was and still remains to this day, a veritable Pandora's Box.

Brilliant stuff, @exyle. (p.s. thanks for taking me back to the days of Microsoft Encarta!!)

Man! I forgot about those 5 different sources! That's so true lol. Thanks for that memory! I'm not sure if this still applies today, but I wouldn;t be surprised :). Thanks as always for your awesome replies!
