Sometimes I liken this debate about the internet, to 1906-era
partisans arguing about the right cures for syphilis. One side,
intoning with great authority: "Tinctures of mercury, yes a good dose
of mercury, is just what you need... " and the other side, insisting
that "Leeches, leeches will help... all you need is a  good
blood-letting... and everything will be fine..."

While those few that had embraced germ theory and were pointing at
little squiggly things in microscopes as the root causes of so much
disease, were laughed at and ignored.
