Don't know what to tell you. In the old days, shit was in books, and this was in a book on my dad's shelf that I read when I was about 17. I'll ask him if he remembers which one I'm talking about. If everything were available online, Dana would never have to go to the University library.

The internet gives us quick access to 1% of the information in the world. Library sciences are still needed for the remaining 99%.

And...I wouldn't have had to spend $40 (incl postage) for a book about 18th C Infantry ...which I just did.
